It is 3 days into the new year, and I only have time to give my closing speech for the year 2009.
2009 has been a very challenging year that I have to face. It is one drawback after another. So not a lot of people know this but I went for an Op in May for an abscess that I had. Went on hospitalization leave for a month and for that whole month I stayed away from work.
Then shit happens again, and I can’t say anything here but I will always remember because it would not be right if I don’t. But when I do, the heart still aches but I work hard not to succumb to the pain.
Yes this was the year that I turned 21 and made my step into the adult world. Everything revolves differently. Just look at me on New Year’s Eve, I was celebrating alone whilst asleep as I had 2 more morning shifts on the first 2 days of New Year.
As much as I would love to usher 2010 or any other new years here onwards with the people I love, that would always be difficult as long as I am in the service industry. Shift work definitely takes a toll after a long time. But I have many more years ahead of me and many more mountains to conquer.
Looking at the past year from another angle, yes I had a challenging year and yes I lost things I hold dear but the world suffered so much more. The devastating earthquakes and the terrible monsoons that hit others showed me that my life is not as bad as it is. Although I still do moan about it, but I do my best to tell myself that all will go well.
Starting 2010 the years will pass quickly for me. That always happens when you reach your twenties. Looking back at the past decades, I went from being in secondary to tertiary and now am working full time. That is a lot to accomplish in 10 years.
For now, I am ushering in 2010 with hopes that all goes well and it’ll be a better year for all of us.
Happy New Year everyone!!!
