Some of our number have already been challenged - in the wake of freak climatic events in Mindanao - others [if you're British] closer to home ... where, during the first week of 2012, gale~force storms - the most severe since the January Gales of 1968 - have battered our coastline, leaving many folk without electricity ... albeit fortunately on this occasion, with their lives.
We all face different challenges... BUT, we will be allright... 2012 is a promising year despite the calamities, economic problems that are yet to face... Life is colourful Unless WE are COLOR-BLIND.. One becomes color-blind when one counts the sorrows instead of the blessings...

As for me, I will be taking a big leap as I venture a life with Dave in a strange country.. That is the biggest challenge yet to face... BUT, whatever happens, (success or failure) I am still thankful to have been given such opportunity..

Happy New Year Arthur, and all those who have helped us in the VISA application...
