THE YEAR THAT WAS - 2011

AROUND THE WORLD
- Without any doubt,the toppling of dictatorships in the Arab world made our year.
In what is now known as the Arab Spring,the peoples of Tunisia,Egypt and Libya rose up this year and overthrew their despotic rulers.The revolution in Libya turning out to be a particularly long and a protracted one in comparison to those of Tunisia and Egypt.
To witness people taking a stand in order to fight for their rights and then succeeding at it - without any arms in two instances(Tunisia and Egypt) - was truly heartening.


IN SOUTH AFRICA
- Our Table Mountain being named one of the 'New 7 Wonders of Nature' in November greatly exciting us here in the FGM.
In a worldwide poll in which people had to vote for seven natural wonders out of 28 finalists,Table Mountain became '1 of 7'.What was interesting about this was that in the post we wrote on the Sunday before the voting closed - 'Rooting for Our Table Mountain'(6th November) - we had been bullish about Table Mountain's chances.And this confidence was based on nothing other than our patriotism.
So you can imagine our joy when the list of winners was announced.We were so excited,we could not sit still.
Needless to say,'T M' making it on to this illustrious list is a boon to South African tourism.


ON A PERSONAL NOTE
- A year that started on a very trying note for me(and my family) is ending on a promising note.
For most of January and the whole of February I was not able to post anything on the FGM blog.I was was suffering from a writer's block of sorts.There was a lot of 'stuff' happening in my life.
The bread and butter challenges that I had to deal with were sapping my energy and motivation.
This inability to do one of the things that bring me true pleasure was very hard to take.I even considered giving up on this whole FGM project 'thingi'.

The turnaround came after I attended a church service at Grace Bible Church.
A friend invited me to a service at Grace in early March.And I went not because I expected answers to my bread and butter issues,but because he had been asking me to come along for a while now.It just felt like the right time to accept his invitation.
This service at Grace totally blew me away.I came back highly,highly inspired.
As a way to thank my friend for the invitation I decided to write about this Grace experience in a post - 'The Gospel According to Grace Bible Church'(13th March).And ever since this post of my Grace service attendance,I have been at it on the FGM blog.You could say that that church service kind of cured my writer's block.
Strangely,my bread and butter matters have been improving as well.As the year ends things are much,much better.

Our FEEL GOOD poem of the year:

Love Me Always
_______________

Tell me that you love me,
That you adore me,
Not only on Wednesdays.
Show me affection,
Not only during elections.
Display your admiration,
Your infatuation,
Every day.
Love me at all times,
And not just sometimes.
Be attentive,
Give me 't-c',
Daily.
Not just when I must give.
Love me always,
All the time.
