Happy New Year (2008)

I went into 2007 with a heavy heart. The whole world seemed depressed and without hope.

Indeed 2007 did turn out to be both personally challenging and to continue horrors throughout the world.

We moved from Lindsay to Hamilton, there were trials and tribulations along the way but ultimately it has all worked out. I’ve grown closer to old friends and made new ones. Unlike many mothers around the world I’ve marked another year with my children unscathed by war.

Politically it saddens me that feminism is seen by some to still be fringe and that if we don’t make sandwiches and make everyone feel good first we are crazy radicals scary and best ignored. *sigh*

I wish everyone all the best in the New Year. May you find happiness in unexpected places and always have enough to keep body and soul together.

I leave you with one of my favourite Dan Fogelberg songs;
