Did anyone watch Noels Christmas presents last night. Boy, did I blub.

I think regardless of anyones personal circumstances, it's important to sit back once in a while and realise that while you may have it bad there's always someone else out there that's got it worse. Especially at this time of year.

Take my hubbies family for instance. His brother needs a kidney transplant, 2 of his nieces have cystic fibrosis and 1 of them needs a lung transplant. That's 1 family of 6 (mum, dad and 4 kiddies) with 3 of them with serious life threatening health problems.

And I sit here complaining about money! Makes me feel very humble.

My Mum had a heart attack yesterday and is in hospital, she is 200 miles away and although I am going on Thursday (already planned) may go sooner. Johnz I think you have been on a bumpy journey and I sincerely wish you a very Happy 2008. x

I'm so sorry to hear about your mum Isthereanend, and also about your hubby's family Johnz. As you say, it really puts things into perspective.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is the present - a gift to make the most of.
