EDITOR'S NOTE
by Christine Benns
Well once again we are nearing the end of a year... 2011 seemed to have flown by - where does the time go?
I don’t suspect that there is any reasonable explanation other than our lives are filled with busy schedules... whether it be work, school, family or children, we all have too much on our plate. So how do we fix it... is there an answer? A book “CrazyBusy: Overstretched, Overbooked and About to Snap” by Edward M. Hallowel states, “You can feel like a tin can surrounded by a circle of a hundred powerful magnets”. “Many people are excessively busy because they allow themselves to respond to every magnet: tracking too much data, processing too much information, answering to too many people, taking on too many tasks,” “all in the sense that this is the way they must live in order to keep up and stay in control. But it's the magnets that have the control.” Something for all of us to think about!
I don’t usually make a New Year’s resolution, my belief is that we should set goals (personal) and focus on one at a time. When you’ve reached that goal... move on to another. This year if feel the need to start off fresh in a new year, so I will have my resolution in mind when the clock rolls over at midnight.
For those that sent well wishes for Ross’ dad, thank you. He is thankfully hanging in there and we are taking one day at a time... hoping for another.
To all of our readers, contributors, friends and family have the merriest Christmas and Happy New Year!
Take care – Christine Benns, Editor
