Can't wait to wake up

Yesterday as I went to bed, I thought: OK, so how many hours until I can get up again? There is so much to do, that I cannot keep myself quiet, I cannot wait to get up and continue living in this so exciting times.

I was thinking of one of the 10 nominees from the recent Heroes serie on CNN, a man who said something like "Who wants just to work to make a living? The possibility of making a difference in someone's life is the most profound and gratifying experience!". And a young woman who likes to jog in the mornings and decided to invite to run with her the people from a homeless shelter (she also was nominated) indicated that may be something is wrong when just being kind to others becomes the reason for a special heroic award. :-)

I don't think something is wrong, I think something is finally straightening up, getting right. That it makes the news, as opposed to go unnoticed. That is can inspire others, that it tells us about a world we actually can get excited to live in.

Talking about excitement, what about this headline on BBC today:

The US is set to lead the world towards a new climate deal, according to John Kerry - but only if other countries pledge emission curbs too. The former US presidential candidate said here at the UN climate conference that the aim of agreeing a new global deal next year must remain on track. But a deal could not work unless it covered all countries, he added. Mexico indicated intentions to halve emissions by 2050, one of the strongest plans from a developing nation. The country's environment minister Juan Elvira invited other developing countries to join the Mexican initiative, which could see the establishment of a cap and trade system, enlarging the global carbon market. But the idea will have to go before the president for final approval, possibly in February. Environmental groups applauded the Mexican move, which would make it one of the first developing countries to set itself targets for reducing emissions, although they are "aspirational goals" rather than binding commitments.
