Anyway, let me start. I'm quite sick right now but I've been trying to sleep for 3 hours already, no luck so far. My head is starting to hurt from too much thinking. Therefore I'll try to write down thoughts, and this mostly covers a review of the year that passed.
Honestly, 2009 went by so quickly. It's one of the fastest, if not the fastest one that I've had thus far. It seems just like a few months extension of 2008. Not that it was bad. Actually it was a very blessed year to tell the truth. I feel that I received a lot of things that I didn't even ask for, and for that I'm very thankful and humbled. But I guess that's the reason why it went by so quickly. Though it wasn't exactly smooth sailing, there was relatively minimal conflict. My life was, should I say 'simple', for 2009. I've never been really used to this kind of life, the 'I ask for it, and I get it' type. I'm not saying that I've been having it ridiculously easy. But I can say that, compared to the previous years, I was able to get the things that I needed without too much fuss. But somehow, even though it's been breezy, I still feel that I'm missing out on a lot. I'm not sure how to place it, but when I attended one of our office meetings, our big boss hit it right smack: "Satisfaction, at some point, will eventually lead to discontent". In other words, just keep exploring what's out there. Satisfaction is good, but it's not constant. I couldn't agree more.
What I'm saying is, I'm not used to this kind of lifestyle. For a while it was all good, stable and secure. But I became too complacent. I guess I can say I'm the kind who doesn't mind going through the whole roller coaster struggle to get to some significant checkpoint. In short, it got boring. I'm not really asking for more, but right now I truly want something different. I guess convenience is not my thing, hehehe. I'm not asking for a TV-series worthy life but I'm getting tired of this on going safe, predictable routine.
So there. I think my point is, 2009 was a good stable year, no complains there. But for 2010, it's time to be more adventurous in many aspects of life, and I think I'm quite ready to be more risky. Go go go!!! Wow, I'm loving 2010 already!
Good luck to everyone, wish you all the best for 2010! Happy New Year! :)
The sweetest blessing that I got for 2009:
Cool huh? ; )
