2011

If you’re reading this blog post, congratulations on making it to the end of 2011. This year has been massive for many people in this country, especially for many living in a little place called Christchurch.

As I write this, the city is again reeling from another batch of quakes which have caused more damage both physically and I’m sure emotionally. Christmas will not be a happy time for many but another chapter in a hard, fear-filled traumatic journey.

But for me personally, I have much to be thankful for.

I am thankful for my wonderful family, in particular the arrival of my son Samuel. His name means, “I asked of God”. He is certainly an answer to our prayers.

I am thankful for having the opportunity to live in a safe country that gives each person the right to vote in a fair and democratic way.

I am thankful for the wonderful people we have in the medical profession in this country who diagnosed my cancer & helped me get through it.

I am thankful for the people who have taken the time to pray to God for my health and wellbeing this year

I hope you all take time to reflect on your year and to choose to be thankful. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🙂
