Back on UK soil

Hi

Well, I am back from Portugal.

Having spent so much time with 2 beautiful girls over there (Kristina and Tatiana), daughters of friends: Victor and Emma, I just read Barack Obama's letter to his two girls and it really is beautiful.

I hope the wishes for a better future that we all send to him, spur him on to achieve everything we hope he will. I know one man can't be Superman, but anything is an improvement on George Bush, and Barack Obama is so much more than just change for changes sake. I have faith he will do some great things while at the helm.

With that in mind, I hope I do some great things with my weight loss - back on the wagon tomorrow :-) Holiday over. That is the trick I guess... to focus as if a nation is depending on me.... :-) To be accountable and responsible. Set objectives and targets, and steer back on track if the ship is going off track.

So I am off this computer soon, to unpack, make a very healthy dinner of salmon and veg for hubby and I, and generally get ready for work tomorrow. Bit of input, and the output is always better :-)

Bye for now

Barack Obama's Inaugural Address

I was probably one of the few people on the planet who did not watch the inauguration today, but I have just read the beautiful Inaugural address at:

Quite an interesting article from the Telegraph here.

George W. Bush left his office with an approval rating of only 22 per cent, making him the most unpopular outgoing president since polls began......... So for Barack, the only way is up...

... and we are all behind him, cheering him on. Right now, I think he is exactly what the world needs.

Here's a toast to the 44th President

Barack Obama

So, there was a big break in my blog entries as I had a few days in Switzerland. Also meant a break in swimming at Virgin Active. But here I am, but on the case with the blog.

Well... the world changed while I was away. History was made. Barack Obama swept to victory as the nation's first black president Tuesday night in an electoral college landslide that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself. Change has most certainly come. And... about time too I say.
Yoga tonight was amazing. Great vibe. Beautiful class.

Byeee for now.
