The year coming to an end
10 December, 2007
It has become a ritual of sorts. I would leave my blog barren and idle, only to return to wrap up the year. And what a year it’s been…
I normally write on my 43Things page, updating my progress on various goals and such. But I’ve always thought this blog would be handy, someday, when I needed to write just about anything that doesn’t quite fit the realm of goals.
Being the systematic creature that I am (it’s a curse more than a virtue), I’d normally approach this task by reviewing all my goals and entries at 43Things.com . But that will take me a while, and I just want to get this introductory entry out of the way. So let this be a snapshot, more than anything, before I move on to more meaty stuff.
It’s 1:17 AM, the rain has finally stopped and the room temperature is finally cool and conducive for sleep. 24 hours ago, I was witnessing My Chemical Romance in concert. Quite simply, one of the most amazing moments in recent times. A week ago, the situation at work has taken amazing twists and turns. All good though, and shall see much excitement in that department soon. A month ago, my son finished his second year in primary school, looking forward to his school holidays. He’s grown into a fine young (little) man, all of his eight years, seemingly mature beyond his tender age. Six months ago, my mother returned home for good, after being away at work at some foreign country. It’s great to have her around again, though I don’t always show it with my lack of motivation where household chores are concerned.
Life is good. My life has been blessed, with a job I dare say I truly enjoy, with a family who anchors me in my frequent moments of uncertainties. My friends remain a constant source of inspiration. They keep me sane and help me weather the rockier roads where inter-personal relationships are concerned. Both the old ones and the new.
My home life has me contented, a comfortable house that is filled with laughter, merriment and God’s blessing. And God has indeed been good to me and for that I am infinitely grateful.
