i was supposed to post a new year entry yesterday but i woke up late, around lunchtime. lunch was instant cup noodles. then i watched Rock Musical Bleach on crunchyroll. then Ouran Host Club on DVD (i'm now on episode 16). then i baked chocolate walnut muffins (from scratch). basically i had a quiet and restful new year's day, with occasional punctuations of sharp longing to see jacob.
right now i'm sipping my morning coffee and thinking how to recap my 2008 and tie it all up with gratitude. let's try...
thank you, dear universe, for a very good 2008.
...for finally having a very good work team, a team that gets along and works in harmony, a team made up of friends not just colleagues, a team that is talented, enthusiastic and crazy
...for all the financial rewards borne of all those years of hard work
...for my sabbatical, for realizing that i do not always have to be superwoman, and that it is okay to let go and let others take care of me instead
...for finally being able to move out, and appreciating how it allowed me and my relationships to grow
...for finally being able to drive, and learning that it doesn't necessarily have to mean i could no longer be taken care of
...for the old friends who have been with me through the thick and thin, they know who they are
...for the new friends who have shown me there is always room in the heart for more
...for surviving through a full year of practice and not giving up, and actually getting a little bit better
...for my bella-esque story, my edward and my jacob, for the lessons and all the shades of love
...for jacob, most especially i thank the year for jacob, who taught me about happiness, who made me smile and laugh and dream; despite the uncertainties and the pains of longing and the very difficult lessons on patience and faith
2008 has been a most wonderful and magical year. it has been a year of revelation, initiation, cultivation.
2009 promises to be even better. a year of fruition and fulfillment. of happily ever afters.
