On this last work day of 2009,

.
I arrived in my office staring at an empty space as all the colleagues were out having breakfast. It's a last working day anyway hence everyone is not quite in the mood to achieve much.
.
So everyone have made it to the end of another year.
.
In another 20 odd more hours, it will be Year 2010. Traditionally at this point in the year, we tend to look back at what has been achieved and also look forward to what we might do in the coming 12 months and beyond. Plan and plan and so?
.
For me this always feels kind of scary and exciting all in one. More than often, we don’t fulfill our expectations as our goals might just have been a bit ambitious and we are left feeling a little deflated. 2009 has been quite challenging, but actually has turned out pretty well for me and my family. We thank ourselves for being blessed to be able to ride 2009 smooth and steady. Especially for myself, I've been waiting for the day that I can at least prove to myself that I'm not so useless after all, or maybe I wasn't after all.
.
Probably I still cannot convince myself of my own worth as yet but I will - one day.
.
.
On this day marking the end of Year 2009, I'll just like a lot of things to go more smoothly for those close friends and family members around us.
.
Hopefully the in-laws are more involved with elderly activities or grandchildren in their daily lives since they can still afford their time and energy. More luck and blessing may be bestowed on our other family members though. Our close friends who are feeling deflated may be more charged and motivated to move things on and make things happen for themselves.
.
Life is somehow, 60% fated, 40% in our own hands so why let only 60% decide what goes for us.......?
.
Here, let's continue to raise our glasses and cheers to more new heights, more new beginnings and blessings........HAPPY 2010 everyone!
