An Emotion-ful Year
A friend shared with me on exiting a year (2007) well and to enter the new year (2008) well. How did I exit 2007?
Well... to be honest.
Not as good as one should have exited. Still carrying on my back, as it clings on to me like a 'monkey' - the burdens of outstanding issues for the year. The disappointments and anguish lingers in my heart and the blurry sense of direction still unclear in my head. I cried buckets on the eve and the first day of the new year. Why? I've no idea - just building up of emotions (could be PMS) and disheartening real-life family stories taking over me. Just pray that all will be well. Specifically:-
1. To depend on HIM more and more - desiring to be walking closely with HIM.
2. Clear direction in my career. Wanting so much to have the drive to work once again! Desperately in search for a job which is both motivating and satisfying.
3. To be passionate about something and work towards it. Writing?
4. To be a more joyful person - JOYOUSly going through everyday.
5. To have a clean bill of health.
6. For Realisation, Resolution & Reconciliation.
Entering year 2008...
On top of the extra burden carried forward, am starting out the new year with a travel to Ho Chi Minh City. Not sure why but the travel-o-phobia bug has returned... hence the nerves and mood swings.
Full of anticipation as I enter year 2008. Wanting so much for a breakthrough from all that is 'eating' me up both mentally and emotionally. Life still goes on and this time round, I hope it's for more of the UPS and less on the DOWNS. :)
Year 2008, here I come, bravely embracing you!

dearest shalyn, i wonder if you ever look at the hidden comments in your blog. deligently i log onto your blog "everyday" and am always happy to see a new post. but the past few post have left a tug in my heart. i hope you'll find solace in your job. if that is the right word. perhaps a little bundle of joy would bring some smiles and meaning. but let's surrender that to Him. god bless my dear.
Dear Shalyn
Here's praying that you will find that 'breakthrough' this year. Continue to persevere, God knows your heart, your struggles, your desires and cares intensely for you. Be strong and inspired - there's so much of life to live for. May 2008 bring a brave soul to greater heights.
My gift to you (i think she sings much better than I do) =)

Jac,
Thanks for the encouragement and support. I do diligently read your blog too. :) As for my job, hope to be able to find a new one soon. And the bundle of joy will probably have to wait - needing to settle down for abit first... :)
