yikes! it’s 2008 already
geez how did we get to 2008 so soon?? weren’t we just starting 2007??
i suppose we all ask ourselves that each year, don’t we? it seems like each year gets shorter and shorter, tho’ in reality time isn’t getting faster, i think it’s our lives. i remember when i was younger, a year seemed like an eternity… how many months of school did we have to sit thru?? and didn’t summer feel like it wouldn’t end??
it’s strange to think that the one thing that seems in flux, time, is the one thing that’s actually constant… which means, it’s actually us that is in flux. what is it about us that causes us to flux, especially the older we get??
actually, i think it’s going to be some sort of bell curve of flux for our lives… we start off as slow, and somewhere in our ‘middle years’ things happen in a blink of an eye, then we start to slow down again… guess we’ll see if i’m right in about 50 years, eh??
i’m not sure if i really have much to say about 2k7… i think i had more work to do at work than ever, but i also think i had more play to play also. i mean, work was tumultuous with all of the shakeups in the company… and it’s been my biggest challenge in my career to date. at the same time, i think i’ve been able to see more clearly where my strengths and weaknesses are, and where i want to get better. i’ve definitely had to step up to more responsibilities, and i think i’ve done an ok job at it. can do better next year i believe.
iris and i got to travel a whole bunch this year, which was fun. 2 trips to napa, yosemite, an east coast trip, seattle, and vegas like usual. lots of fun, food, drinks, and friends. i can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year. who wants to come play?
lessee… 1/4 on my new year’s resolutions from last year. oh well, tack them on to 2k8’s list.
finally got a new car, and yet i still miss the teg sometimes.
after all that, sometimes i feel like i’m still searching for something. i just don’t know what yet. maybe 2008 will bring more clarity?
in any case, i want to wish the best 2008 to everyone. i hope everyone’s year doesn’t fly by!
