My resolution in 2009

(my message #1 to my children): I would prefer at this point of resolution to lose myelf in the thought thru my game of words that progress is not victory but compromise, despite the world of envy, infighting, and suspicion around. ....Let me put this way, compromise means both sides have to forgive and forget the past. History has to be put to bed. No more references to"that time when you...."-whatever it was you did or said. Compromise is needed if we are to stay together. Victory for one or the other would have meant defeat for both sides because both would have split.Let's work out a shared dream which we give us each role in a common project-our life together.The dream needs constant re working. It is not easy, though. Have faith, but "Faith without works is dead".
