A few words from Jessica - January 2006

Sincere Best wishes for the New Year and may it bring you your hearts desires. If it doesn’t, I wish you a strong sense of humour and as much beer as you can drink!

I thought I’d take this opportunity to get a word in before Olivia has a go through my diary again and tells of the very big year ahead.

A thought for the New Year.
In recent weeks I’ve been tracing back my father's lineage with the help and skill of a friend.
I called my father in order to verify that the people traced were the right ones before we looked further into it. My father was amazed as the pieces began to fall into place and vague memories began to make sense. He gasped as I gave him the address of his great grandfather, an address he remembered his father refer to when reminiscing about childhood visits to his own grandfather.
My father then remarked how the same patterns seem to have been repeated over the generations. All the same mistakes with the same consequences, generation after generation.
It struck me that in his way he was referring to the phenomenon of the family groundhog day, old family habits and beliefs we pick up without question and pass on unconsciously over the generations.
All those old beliefs which are not the truth, even though whole generations have behaved as though they were.

So if you were to take the same journey around your family, friends or associates, try asking yourself
Have I contributed any?
What questions need to be asked in my life right now?

Remember, it’s never too late to change a groundhog day.
What will you do about yours this year?
What will next year look like without it?

To comment on these and other ideas why don’t you join my Network Forum and link up with some other really great people?

Looking forward to keeping in touch throughout 2006.
Kindest Regards and wishes for your health and happiness.
