2007, the year that is.....

as 2007 draws to a close I'm sitting here pondering about what this year has signified for me. on the onset, what immediately comes to mind is the pain and hurt of a love lost. how betrayal and deception brought me to the lowest point in my life and re-acquainted me with despair and loneliness. a cocktail of negative energies that drained me emotionally. NEVER AGAIN.... but as i look further into the 340+ days i smile. i can proudly attest to the joy and happiness of true friendship. it's a beautiful thing. when you meet certain people and they touch your life in a powerful way you can never be the same again. it doesn't matter who they are or where they come from it's a spiritual bond that time nor distance can shake. one of my many highlight of 2007 was having the opportunity to travel and see what the east coast of the US had to offer. i must say that this part of the country is beautiful, the flora and fauna unbelievable and the scenery breathtaking.it has been the adventure of a lifetime and i can't save fast enough to go and see the rest of the US. financially, i had a big savings dream but as usual the never ending expenses quickly dashed away any hopes of starting my nest egg. it just seems that when i finally put a little aside, something breaks, gets stolen or needs to be repaired. in addition, my family back home [PNG Represent] think i own a bank coz the amount of withdrawals i made from my account to give them was enough to feed a whole village in Darfur. but , I'm not bitter, whats the use of having if you cant give to others... besides it makes me happy. yep, so i 'm guessing I'll never be rich. all in all its been an eventful year full of drama, heartache and love. any delusions of grandeur that i may have had has unceremoniously been slapped out of me. its a good thing too, i was getting a little bit tired of me. once again all the positive life changing events have made the setbacks seem trivial. nevertheless, all have been saved in my memory bank just waiting for me to call upon. so as i think about 2008 i pray that i continue to be blessed and never for a minute be ungrateful for all that i have and will have. but importantly i give thanks to the almighty Creator because through him all things are possible. THE JOURNEY CONTINUES......
