Ach!It's just the time of year..Long dark nights and horrible weather make me depressed.When Easter arrives I'll be far more ebullient and able to cope.

I have to say that 2007 sucked big time as I lost 4 relatives.One was into her 101 st year, one had a degenerative disease similar to senile dementia,the next was the widow who had been battling cancer fo 3 years and seemed to give up after my uncle's death.The last was the most tragic,my cousin's wife.They didn't marry until their 40's and  finally adopted two wonderful children.They had only been married 15 years and this summer she lost her battle with stomach cancer leaving my cousin with two teenagers to raise on his own.

But as life is a road that we can only travel in one direction I guess that we can only look to the future and hope that the next year will be a good one for ourselves and all the rest of the human population that live on this planet with us.
