Preparing for 2010

On the last day of 2009, we look back at a tumultuous year - incompetence to move forward with sustainable energy programmes, terrorist activity, raging weather and a spiraling amount of debt.

Whilst it may seem like the future is bleak, it is useful to remember that on that 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year that there are those who will lay down their lives to make the world a better place.

So take a deep breath, count your blessings and enjoy the simple things - take 10 minutes out to clear your mind and relax your thoughts. Enjoy the moment and turn your thoughts to one simple action which will improve your life (and those around you).
