As 2011 Closes We Look Forward To 2012

There are people who advise against too much looking back. I hope they don’t mind if we have a revue, a lot has happened this year and I have much to be grateful for and I would like to share this gratitude.

First of all, to those, on FaceBook, who are fans’, and Followers on Twitter I thank you, both. It’s good to know the Daily events on the page, with the associated video, and questions, the Blogs etc, are appreciated. I hope the happiness felt while doing them comes over the screen to you.

Then, there are those that have commented on what has been included, especially in Blogs, http://www.tkd1954.blogspot.com/

Your comments have been helpful, positive and constructive, and, again, I thank you.

Those who visit my website http://www.keithdonnelly-online.com/  I thank you, also.

Most thanks, however, must go to my wife for her support and loyalty. She has never once expressed doubt, either in me or what I am doing online and I, really, appreciate it and thank you.

Now for 2012

Bob Proctor, from the Secret, tells a story of addressing the senior executives of a well-known insurance company. They wanted to know what, in his opinion, the few years were going to be like. When he told them that things were likely to be very similar to the previous few years, they asked him to explain. What he said surprised them.

In my opinion, in 2012, as in previous years, people are going to die, but more people were going to be born. There will be disasters, both natural and man-made. Money will be made and money will be lost.

The world economic downturn, we are currently, experiencing is likely to continue, especially if people persist in talking it into being, with its’ associated feelings of lack of control, means that an online presence becomes more realistic and a real choice for more people, which must be a good thing – People taking control of their lives.

Merry Christmas & A Happy 2012

All I wanted was a bit of control...

The Canaries, where I am fortunate enough to live are, nominally, part of Spain.

I say that things are nominally the same here as on the Mainland. Many of the things that apply there don’t apply here. The tax systems are different, and so is welfare and social security.

Also, I am lucky enough to work on the internet despite access being somewhat erratic http://www.keithdonnelly-online.com/

One of the things that is the same here as on the Mainland, is the number of fiesta’s they have every year – Or, so one would think.

I, only mention this because the Government in Madrid has decreed that the number of days off must be reduced, and along with the ending of the Siesta – which even the loosing, Socialist government, was trying to get rid of, must be a thing of the past, in the name of efficiency.

Apparently, a modern economy cannot have its’ workers taking so many days off during the week, irrespective of

the climate, these workers toil in.

In a recent spat between Spanish and German officials, a representative from the German government suggested that if the Spanish worked as hard as the Germans, they would be equally successful.

It was, then, pointed out that in fact Spanish workers have less time off when annual leave is taken into account.

It was in this atmosphere of turmoil, in the UK that I decided to seek out opportunities for earning an income on the Internet

As I have mentioned, previously, it was a slow process. Not that I didn’t have the chance – My email inbox was packed with offers – people sending me offers, claiming I could earn thousands a month, a week, a day, all while sitting on the beach with the waves lapping at my feet.

I have to say, that once or twice I was seduced and actually parted with money, only to be disappointed.

Working here brought to mind a quote from Bob Proctor, from The Secret, who in an interview I saw, said he hadn’t worked a day since he quit as a Montreal fireman, in the mid 1960’s.

I was hearing this over 40 years after he quit fire fighting, so I thought he must have come into some money, or won the lottery. Then, just recently, I heard the explanation in a conversation he was having with a man called Lanny Morton. Bob tells Lanny that he enjoys what he does so much it can’t be considered as work.

And that summed up my feelings towards my work, on my website and writing this Blog. OK so, time can fly by and I not notice – But there’s no one standing over me telling me to hurry, or that I have to do something else.

Regards, Keith
