Happy New Year x

Happy New Year everybody, and I mean everybody. I hope, that whoever you are reading this, the next twelve months will be sweeter than the last, even if 06 has been a great time for you. My diary entries have been a little sparse this year and its not because I don’t think most days about writing something. I’m anxious to get a balance between thinking anyone might be interested in my day to day coming and going (there are some very ego centric bloggers out there), and wanting to comment on current events and issues.Having said that I become weary of trying to articulate thoughts on mind numbing events that seem to happen now on a daily basis. Maybe they always have and I’m just tired of voicing my opinion or maybe these are indeed some pretty dark times. For example, yesterday and the execution of Saddam Hussein. I have had, like most people, thoughts about the whole thing but find myself veering between different viewpoints. It’s easy to reach for the pen or computer keyboard and start going off on one, but it takes time sometimes to stop and listen to the small voices (and gather plenty of information) before true wisdom arrives. Someone once said it’s easy to know what your against but harder to know what you are for. Maybe to hold peace and wait for the right moment is what I’m trying to do. Maybe I have said too much in the past and sounded a little too loud. Or maybe I’m just getting lazy and a little tired of scrapping with folk. Whatever! For those who wish to know my new hip and I are healing well but find the progress very slow and a little frustrating though at least it is giving me the chance to be creative and write some songs. I’m looking forward to this New Year, it’s going to be very busy with a lot of great opportunities and I will be very interested to see where things are this time next year. Thanks to all of you who stay close. Stay safe too and I do wish you and your loved ones a very happy new year. M x
