The year 2007 has been a year of change, a year of transition and family reunions. It is also the year when several of our family and close friends decided to move on -- from Europe to Asia, Africa to Asia, Europe to Australia and Europe to America. This only means that we have every reason to travel more!This year more than ever made me realized how much vulnerable we are and that we should never take our health for granted, and that health is really wealth. Until now I still struggle with M's death and with the news that a very close friend from university has been diagnosed with the big C. Such experience moves me to focus and take time for the more important things in life. It also reminds me to be grateful for being able to experience what life has to offer.
Despite some setbacks, 2007 in general has been a very good year for us. Most of the goals we have set out for the year was surprisingly achieved with a lot of patience and hard work. I could already see how busy 2008 for us would be especially the first half of the year, but we are just looking forward to face the new challenges. Exciting times indeed.
As usual there is no better way to celebrate the end of the year and the start of a new year in the company of my dear family and friends, and to simply enjoy a nice break at home. We really deserve it.
Proost! Cheers! Salud! A toast to life!
