"I´m gonna make a change,

For once in my life

It´s gonna feel real good

Gonna make a difference

Gonna make it right

I'm starting with the man in the mirror"
Micheal Jackson

My word for 2008 is

Perseverance

steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., esp. in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.

This is a word I use a lot to describe the dedication and commitment my son J shows in life - after talking through some issues we have to deal with over the next few months, Hubs said he admired my perseverance whilst trying to achieve what I believe to be right for J and his future.

I hope and pray that I may be blessed with the strength and courage to continue my battles through 2008 and that my perseverance pays off.
