scottishlassUsually ppl tend to make all kinds of resolutions for the new year on a day like this, but this is not my thing. First off, I do not like to make promises/resolutions that I know I cannot keep and second, what's the point in musing what might or might not happen. I will see soon enough what is coming my way in 2008.
No, the thing I love to do on a day like this is to look back, to reminiscence about the past year and what things I have achieved and learnt and which things might have gone better if not for the choices I have made.
So what did I learn in 2007?
I learnt not to be so strict with me anymore. I know that the ppl around me apply different priorities to things and that these might not always be the same priorities that I have set up. Instead of getting all riled up, I have learnt to ignore and accept it.
I learnt that I should trust my gut feeling a lot more. Several times my initial reaction to ppl was imminent distrust. Other ppl around me persuaded me not to be so negative and I gave them a chance. It took a lot of tears and pain to realize that my first reaction was right and I should have believed my gut reaction.
I guess that 2008 will be a challenging year. I have to be prepared that Chica might not see another new year. I have to find a better paid job, freelancing as editor isn't paying too much. We will see.
