Good bye 2008....2009 awaits

Well when I look back to the year behind me a few things come to mind:
-the new year I spent with mum from 2007 into 2008. A memory that will stay forever sitting in our pjs watching the fireworks from the balcony in Highcape and watching the music on tv. We had such a special time more so that mum had just been diagnosed.
-Going to the Westcliff hotel to problem solve and implement procedures-a planned 3 month stint turned into 4 months and for me was a great achievement personally as this pushed my abilities and I gymed like you will not believe-was fantastic having a gym at my residence :). I met some interesting people at the hotel, got to spend time with friends I do not get to spend time with as well as of course got to work on my relationship with my sis and her family. I spent my bday there at "Soi" with friends and family.
-My long awaited overseas trip and it was to Bali. Had the time of my life and I got to spend it with Adhil as well. This was God sent I tell you.
-I went back to JHB for Zaras' 1st birthday and spent some good time with mum while there.
-We all gathered for mums birthday in Cape town in Cape Town and had a memorable afternoon at Olivello.
-Durban was a gathering point for Aroons 40th bash-what a time we had re-kindling relationships with lost friendships with relatives.
-Getting to hash some time off to spend with everyone during the Xmas period which is rare for me-a very stressful period at work with a newish team that really sapped me but of course I conquered.

All in all a positive year with many achievements personally and of course this was just an indication of more to come.

2009 I wish to spend more time with my family that I miss very much and I wish to achieve more.
