Another Year

It's hard to believe that a year has passed since I wrote an excited post about Nobel season. What a year it has been! The Peace Prize was announced to today. I really like that it was awarded to a man who works towards peace. Certainly the previous two winners have changed my life. As you know, I have become a great fan of microfinance thanks to Muhammad Yunus (2006) and I have tried to change my ways for my pal, Al (2007). The Nobel Prizes, especially the Peace Prize, make me feel optimistic and make me want to be a good person. I don't trod in the right places to walk in the footsteps of Martti Ahtisaari to make big changes in the world, but I do what I can with what I have. Here's to those whose reach is bigger.
