So This Is Christmas.. (Like You Didn't Already Know)

Apparently I have been tagged again by our very own mistress of spices.

Yes indeedy, it is the Christmas season alright! And though I was saving the retrospective post for New Year's eve, let's have a look at the past year for the darkside.

In 2008, I -

• was in the prime of my life, and never wasted an opportunity to remind someone of the fact
  
• failed many times at things that I should have succeeded at
• went for my first job interview
• went for many, MANY job interviews after that
• was asked to run a floral shop
• started writing this blog
• fell in love
• went to Scandinavia for the first time!
• went to Maldives for the first time (and decided it was going to be my honeymoon destination - if it's still above water then)
  
• learned from my mistakes
• met many old friends, some whom I hadn't seen in 7 years!
• finally accepted the fact that I'm not doing my Masters for a long, long time
• watched old wounds reopen
• realized the importance of respect - earning it and giving it
• got a 6 pack (finally!) - and I ain't talking about beer..
  
• closed a chapter of my life

All in all, it has been an interesting year, if not the most successful. I had made many plans for the year, however in the end I didn't carry out a single one of them.I'm not that upset about it though; God works in mysterious ways, and I honestly believe that everything I went through this year happened for a purpose. I think about everything I would have missed had this year gone according to my plan, and I can only smile to myself, look to the heavens and say "Thank You...!"


I'm not quite sure who to tag, seeing as everyone I know has already been tagged. Aha! There you go: Pseudorandom, Scrumpy, Toby - I doth tag thee!


Peace
