2008 is now drawing ever closer to an end and as sit here on my way to work, which this year consumed more of my life than I suspected it would, I’m thinking about the importance of today, when something a good friend of mine said the other day about New Years being just another day. I wanted to argue the point and say something profound like, ‘it’s importance is echoed by the fact that people gather to usher in a new beginning, and how often does that happen’. But i’m doubtful that has anymore meaning than ‘just another day.’

So this year I’m not bothering to contemplate the highs and lows. Insted I will try and look forward to every waking day on this earth.

Now this extra second set to be given to 2008, does this mean that I have lost a second of my life officially speaking. If I were to die a second before mightnight, I’d die a day earlier than I would have expected. Hmm. On a positive note, we’ll all have an extra second of thinking time, and who doesn’t need that… Now time to live another day safe in the knowledge that it will be brilliant because I’m living it!
