Today is the lazyest (spelled correctly?) night of the year so far. :P Im just sitting in front of the computer, downloading music, and reading celebrity gossip. Then I thought it would be a great idea to write down here about my New year. 2007 was definitely one of the best years... Only great happening with me and my family, and for that I am very thankful to God.
I am still shaping my personality, but I feel that this past year I became much more aggressive about what I want from life and what's really there and how to make the best of it.
I see so many people around me complaining that Madrid is getting boring, but I am still trying to get the best out of it, and I am (without smoking pot, and going out every weekend...).
Well, but lets start from the beggining!!!!!
First I have to write all the things I am thankful for this year:
-For the opportunity of being here. :) Im loving every second even though I miss my family, David and my friends like crazy. But what makes me feel better is that this is 100% my choice and that I could always get a plane back to the US ...
-For meeting David. :) Further details I just prefer to tell him.
-For my - and my loved ones - health. Sometimes we take that for granted, but this is one of the most blessed things we all have!
-For meeting great people - such as my roomate Katie - this year. Its very cheesy but she held me down for the though moments, for the much needed conversations about every thing, for the laughs, the shared food and the hugs for everytime I cried. Katie is probably the reason 80% of the times I was upset, confused or PMS-ing never got to be known in the other continent :P
-For every little thing I learned here: About endurance, being simple, being open minded, and appreciating every thing 10000000000000 times more than I used to when close to home.
Its incredible but I only got to realize how much affection is important to me. I remember when my cousin Fabiana went to study in Australia for a year and wrote in a letter (that time there wasnt e-mail) to her mom: "When I was in Brazil all I wanted was a pair of Levi's, now all I want is a hug".
I know now what she meant ;)
-For not worrying about financial problems.
-For God :) Most of all, who gave me all these wonderful things.
I just wish 2008 is a year as good as this one. Or better. :)
