Confessions….

A year ago…

I experienced a real redemption…
Surviving death at the first day of the year…
Falling asleep for five days… and waking up... for a new me…

During the last year…

I fill into mind traps… and got stuck from within…
I lost friends… I lost time… and I lost myself sometimes too…
I made mistakes… I made the same mistake twice…
And failed some other times…

But I also…

A year ago.. Started Blogging

Met new people, explored new things…
New music and new books…
I learned a lot… from my mistakes… from my failure
And from my redemption…
I learned from those who tried to hurt me… and from those who really loved me...
And in my self exploring journey... I learned a lot about myself…
About my deepest fears, my strengths and my weaknesses…
And I am more aware…
Of myself... and my surroundings...

I moved to a new Job… ran the dead sea marathondiscovered the secret… and decorated Christmas cookies with the coolest Bloogers ever !

So after all…
2007 wasn’t that bad… And despite the bordom I am going through now.. And the slow start I am struggling to break..

I am looking forward for 2008…

And I am planning to...

- Read more…
- Love more…
- Smile more... ( I already do.. but I thought a bit more wont hurt anyone)!
- Prepare for the Next Dead Sea marathon in April by exercising at least four times a week…
- Listen less to MoodFm (At least until my boss stops humming its commercial tune)…
- Be the first to eat from the Observer's (Licky-Licious) Ice cream! ;)
- Learn to make to-do lists and sticking to them…

That's not all, but it's all for now…


So Happy new year everyone… and happy Blogging…

Happy New Year, Hayat! I'm glad you write! Your mind is a pleasure to wander through.

You had a near death experience? Did you blog about it? If not, would you? I enjoy reading about such things.

Hi
As a start I apologize if I bother you with being anonymous
The story started when I was reading a political blog and surprised that most of the comments were from anonymous people so I was curious to know how the feeling of being anonymous
Thank you for your hospitality at your nice blog
