How sad that Christmas brings such negative thoughts. Perhaps we can help by resolving not to let people like theives etc detract from how we feel about Christmas. There are some bad people in the world but thankfully I think they are still in a minority. Let's try to look for the positive. If we know of any sad lonely people we can do our bit to make their lives less lonely.

I'm in danger of sounding very corny but there's this "thing" for want of a better word which accidentally developed into a cult without the person who started it ever intending it to but its main aim is simply to do something nice once a week. It's not a bad idea. If I find the website I'll post a link.

Maybe we all do nice things for others more often than once a week but just think how great it would be if once a week everybody did an extra something nice for someone else without a thought of getting anything out of it themselves.

I'm trying to think of some positive resolutions for 2005 which aren't so selfish as they usually are. Maybe we can make the world a better place. At least I can live in hope.
