These are not the riches that can ever be measured in £
or $ signs. These riches are far, far more valuable than that. These are the
riches in the smiles from neighbours, the gleams in the eyes of our children,
the kind words of old friends, the courtesies of strangers or the laughs of our
family members. These are the riches that make us feel truly warm, solid and
human.
Although sadly, not everyone has these riches in
abundance, happily we can all take action to spread more of this wealth around.
Whilst I do try to do this wealth creation as much as I can, I will admit that
during these austere and recessionary times, I have sometimes become just a tad
too focused on the lesser (financial) riches. My resolution for 2011 is to
remain resolutely focused on building true prosperity.
With this in mind, I have adopted the word 'prosperity'
for the next 12 months. (The 'I CAN' charity in association with Collins
Dictionaries allows you to adopt words in exchange for funding action to ensure
that no child who struggles to communicate is left out or left behind. You can
adopt a word yourself by visiting here: http://new.adoptaword.co.uk/index.php
And you can see a copy of my adoption certificate below.
So I am sending you my seasonal greetings: I sincerely
wish that 2011 will be a truly rich and prosperous year for you, your families,
friends and communities.
Jon
