2007!  I know it's cliche but wow, where did the time go??  It really didn't sink in that 2007 was coming until literally 10 seconds before it came!  Usually, every year on December 31, I always feel a little sad that the year is coming to an end because I always feel slightly guilty/sad that I either didn't accomplish all the things I wanted to accomplish or things didn't happen that I wanted to that year.  However, this time, I actually felt slightly relieved that 2006 was over.  It wasn't a horrendous year but it wasn't exactly an easy one either!

In 2006, my career was just blossoming but boy, it sure wasn't a piece of cake!  I had a very challenging class, worked with some very negative people, and lived through tons of gossip at work.  In my personal life, there were three deaths in my extended family, I had a health scare (my eyes), and finally, had a mini nervous breakdown at home!  Did I mentionl that all of that happened only in the first half of 2006??  The second half of 2006 was slightly better, although my career still proves to be challenging for me.  Then, there was a slightly interesting blip in the romantic department but that quickly proved to be a dud (don't worry, I was not heartbroken at all!! :P). 

However, I think I ended 2006 pretty well because I was finally able to gain clarity on a certain issue that had "stumped" for a very long time.  Because of this sudden clarity, I also started 2007 on a pretty high note too-- I feel like a ton of bricks have finally been lifted off of my shoulders!  Although I cannot reveal what this "issue" is (a girl has her own privacy!), I am very excited to start afresh, and am looking forward to more positive changes in the new year!

Happy New Year, everybody!
