Well it’s that time
again, the end of one year and the start of another. Just where does the time
go??!!
What did you do this
last year? And what do you plan to do different in 2015? We always start the
New Year with such gusto and nine times out of ten our new found plans go awry
within the first week of the year!
Me? Well this last
year I worked really hard trying to raise the profile of CID, raise more funds
etc, so hard that I nearly lost my way. So in 2015 I plan to not work harder
but to work smarter. Working smarter
should give me more time to do the things I want to do, like spending quality
time with my beautiful grandchildren, spend more time in my garden, read more,
create things; all the things that seem to fall by the wayside when you make
yourself too busy simply “doing”!
The New Year is also
a time for reflection. I look back on the years I’ve been involved with CID; so
many happy memories mixed with some very sad ones. This year we said goodbye to
our beloved Mr Popa, driver and unofficial ‘Grandad’ to the children at St
Margaret’s for many years; arriving at Henri Coanda airport in Bucharest simply
isn’t the same any more when he isn’t there to greet you! I hope he has a very
long and happy retirement.

Then there are the
happy memories; Marian from St Margaret’s being adopted – every child deserves
a loving family and this gorgeous little boy has now got one.

The joy on a child’s
face when he receives his ‘Love in a Box’ and finds a toothbrush in it!! Never mind the toy cars, crayons etc, he just
LOVES receiving a toothbrush that is just for him. J

The happy memories far outweigh the sad ones; I would need to write a book to detail them all! YOU have been
instrumental in making these happy moments and for that I thank you from the
bottom of my heart and pray that you will continue to support our work through
2015 and beyond. HAPPY NEW YEAR AND
THANK YOU!
