In retrospect, or rather, in summary, the year that has gone by has been a wonderful year because of several reasons:

1) I have been happier last year than I had been for the past few years.
2) I have moved along significantly in my career, towards the goal I have set myself.
3) Nothing really nasty or unfortunate happened to me that I can still recall now.
4) I met many new and interesting people, some nice and here to stay. Some just passing by to add some colours to my existence.
5) I am learning to assert myself and my opinions in a non-agressive way.
6) I have learnt that positive thinking and attitude DOES affect the way your life works out.
7) Believe I can and I can.
8) Hang around people who likes and loves you just as you are. Only then will you learn to accept yourself as you are and see the good they see in you.
9) Once in a while, take time off to do absolutely nothing but sleep.
10) Work will always be there. Get off when you have to.

My health has not been this good the second half of last year because of my allergies and I suffered alot for it, including being home sick on the first workday of the new year, today! But it has also allowed me to learn many new things about my body that I have overlooked before. So it is not all dismal.

The only lacking point in my life is perhaps someone to call when I am down and someone to hug when I am cold. But it is better to welcome the chilly wind in my face as a refreshing breeze than feel sorry for myself. Nope, I am way... past being sorry and miserable. I want to be happy.

Wee.....

Happy as a butterfly.
