Counting down to the new year!

I am gonna make myself a big glass of milkshake, read about the key performance indicators I should set for next term at work and then lie down in bed and think what I will wear tomorrow. I am working and then going out with a good old friend, who's moving out of the country and getting married. There is also a huge celebration party coming up in two days' time and my heart feels like singing from excitement.

I can barely think of anything negative happened in the previous year, except for my lovely grandma's sad departure, which has left me with a big hole. The year initially looked like it sucked despite my astrological predictions saying it would be a wonderful year. I was really wondering there was no way around this misery. There was simply nothing good happening. And yet halfway through, it proved to be an amazing set of terms.

I guess it has to do with a couple of good choices I did comparing to only a few crappy ones, so the proportion of nice/shit outcome was of positive value. In a short 6-month time, I moved countries, I found a job, I got a new flat, I got a driving licence, I fell in love, I got broken-hearted, I got another diploma from university, I ran a marathon, I got injured, I spent time with my beloved family. I gave every little piece of me to all the things that make me happy and this is why I feel so full by the end of this year! No wonder why I also feel exhausted and worn out and spent the past three days sleeping and resting ;)

There's more to come, more to dream of, more to plan and fail and succeed into. The ultimate is to stay true to your needs and feelings, consistent with your values and in agreement with yourself.

Goodbye 2011! Happy New Year!!!
