The following 'feel good moments' that absolutely made our 2009. These are the happenings that make us say that this was a great year. Because of these, it was a joy to have been alive in 2009.
ON THE WORLD STAGE
___________________
1. The Barcelona Football Club winning the European Champions League Final.
In this game against Manchester the men from the city of Barcelona dazzled. The 2-0 score margin does not even begin to explain the artistry in this victory. Barcelona restored our faith in the beauty of the beautiful game.
2. U S President Barack Obama being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Here is a man - who has already done much to convince us that dreams do come true - being rightly rewarded by the Nobel Prize Committee for his promising start in helping the world get rid of nuclear weapons.
IN SOUTH AFRICA
________________
1. Our peaceful national elections earlier this year.
The acrimony at the ANC's leadership conference in December of 2008 thankfully
not spilling over into the 2009 elections. These are the elections that helped to entrench our democracy. After their successful conclusion we can happily call ourselves a mature democracy.
2. FIFA's 2010 World Cup Draw in Cape Town on December 4th.
The LOC put on an impressive show of efficiency and Mzansi's technical know-how in this event.
We can only say: " Woza June 11 2010! Woza! S A is ready."
ON A PERSONAL NOTE

1.The arrival of first stock The Feel Good Movement t-shirts in August.
That Friday 28th, I will never ever forget. On this day one of my most cherished dreams came true. On the scale of 'big-ness' the FGM's t's arrival was on the
same level as the launch of this FGM website. And, believe it or not, this launch was also on the 28th day of the month(November 2008).
2. Doing my first public motivational speaking gig.
This talk took place at the Department of Education( JHB South) Principals thanksgiving function at the Mid Ennerdale Primary School.
This was an awesome experience for 'yours truly'. To get up and look at a packed hall and know that one has to deliver was was stomach-churning.
But I kept my nerve and got on with it. And I think I did well.
With those, here is hoping that there will be more and many
'feel good moments' for you and for me in 2010.
Let's start the 2nd decade of the millennium on an awesome note.
THANK YOU UNIVERSE. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT 2009.
