Hope for the future, another year about to begin

Tomorrow was certainly a better day! It marks my 2920th consecutive although like everyone else, it’s a few days before the actual anniversary of my first ever blip on 1st January 2013.

I was heartened by many of your responses to our experiences yesterday. Thank you.

We’re at the fag end of an old year that has been the most peculiar we’ve ever known yet there have been many positives to take as well as all the heartache. The true nature of humanity has triumphed over adversity, we’ve come to value the natural world and are rejecting tired old rhetoric of economic development at any costs. Maybe, just maybe, the coming years will see us work with the natural world rather than exploit it.

Like most people, we’ve had our challenges, great and small, some still ongoing. Many, many more people have faced and will continue to face even greater challenges some of which we read of on blip.

And so to Blipfoto and all of you that make our community the great place it is to be. I have the pleasure of following many of you, but there are thousands I’ve yet to meet. You are the best of people and I’m privileged to be able share time with you all. And in times past, to meet some of you in the flesh. Thank you for your support, care and understanding over the years and thank you too, for saying such kind words about my daily ramblings.
