Concern for the world around us has been a significant issue for 2019 – both nationally and internationally -- and for the entire planet . Apparent open betrayal of moral principle and decency by western leadership has been a worry --- disregard for injustice and suffering .—justification for blatent selfishness, cruelty and dishonesty has sadly seemed to be an identifier for the larger picture of our world 2019.

However its been quite different within the smaller ’day to day’ world we have had the privelage of sharing in --- Within this smaller circle of family and friends that we live and work amongst, 2019 has been amazingly beautiful -- This daily little world of ours has painted countless pictures of simple joy .. of developing love and respect for decency – of concern and appreciation for each other --- as well as shown an obvious capacity to find fullfillment and purpose in the ’little honorable things’ of the ordinary day. In this it has been a wonderful year.
