So how was it for you ? I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year…the reality now hits as people return to work and school; the decorations go down and the sweets and chocolate that either we were given or we bought don’t seem to be as attractive now !

And then i hear a debate on television as to whether we are to call this year two thousand and ten or twenty ten….. some news programmes have too much time to fill !

My own reflection is that New Year’s always come with a certain amount of optimism. It’s like that feeling you had at school when you were given a new exercise book to do your work in… clean sheets of paper with enormous potential.  And the book had to be written in page by page and woe betide you if you skipped or wasted a page ! Each new day of this new year is unique…there will never be another Tuesday 5th January 2010…or whatever the date is when you read this ! It comes with a clean sheet of paper regardless of what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow….yours as a gift from God. As an old saying goes:

yesterday is history; tommorrow is mystery; today is a gift…that’s why it is called the present

Have a good day…have a God day !
