Goodbye 2008...

Thursday 01 January 2009 at 06:00 am.

... welcome 2009!

 

First wishing all of you a wonderful, sparkling, happy, peaceful, and healthy new year! 

 

Second, a reflection on my 2008:

An idea that i've actually stolen from a few friends of mine who have been sending out an e-mail to everybody in their addressbook for years. Normally i just catch up with people in real life, but that's physically impossible at the moment, since i'm on the other side of the pond.

 

Theme of the year: Trust

I think the theme suited the year, or, to put it another way, the year suited the theme. It has been a year in which i had to put faith into the fact that everything would turn out right, a year filled with emotional disturbances, always for the better but not always appreciated though. It has been a year with more endings and new beginnings then i'm normally aware off. The most permanent ending was my dad passing away in June, after being ill for about 5 weeks. I want thank everybody again for their support throughout those months and continuing even now. Other endings have included my theory classes for my degree, and living in Holland. New beginnings actually started after Kees passed away, with my very good friends getting married, me moving away from home for a little bit to start an exciting though frustrating research rotation, and last but not least, starting a relationship (still long distance but that changes when i come back).

This year has been a year in which i've learned (and am still learning and will hopefully continue to do so coming year) to be more patient and to trust in the fact that everything will turn out right. I'm also learning not to get frustrated or upset when things don't go MY way, since it can't always go my way. It has been a year of travelling. I have crossed the pond 3 times this year and have travelled great distances on this continent. It's a beautiful country (once you get out of the concrete areas) filled with many lovely people, and i'm having a wonderful time here. Last but not least, it has been a year in which i have experienced once again that i'm prone to start walking into other people's 'dreams' as i like to call it and forgetting my own. So a few hours before the new year started i decided to change the theme of the year into:

 

'Staying in my own dream'
