Goodbye 2008 Hello 2009
We’ve reached the last day of 2008 and looking back, it’s been a scary year to say the least. Planet Earth is ailing and Mother Nature is not happy about it and showed her fury by unleashing majors natural disasters like Cyclone Nargis, the Sichuan earthquake, Hurricane Ike and Gustav, and extreme cold spell in many parts of the World.
These natural disasters were followed up by man-made ones when the financial meltdown unfolded on Wall Street and the disastrous effect quickly spread and halted the World economy.
Some high points of the year include the spectacularly organized Beijing Olympic Games and the election of the first black US President.
On this last day of 2008, one wonder what lies ahead. Going forward, perhaps we should be not be thinking of what will happen, but rather how we should respond to whatever happens.
Here’s wishing you good health and peace in the coming 2009.
Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year too.. let’s hope this year is better than the last
Thank you Pearl. Personally, I really wish for better health because my general health was in bad shape in 2008.
happy new year to you too!
