Where did 2007 go?

I have abandoned this space for quite a while again. It's now 2008 and I can vaguely explain how 2007 went for me. But I can vividly remember how it felt. The memories of the last year, to put it simply, ... were bittersweet!

The bitter part of it still stings but it doesn't cut like a knife anymore for I know I am THE better person while some people are just brought up to be fatal errors on this earth. (It was unfortunate of me to have come across such a screwed character. But I am thankful that the encounter wasn't that long.)

So as the last month of 2007 approached I started basking in the glory of the sun. I am rejuvenated, refreshed, renewed. Awakened from this deep stupor by the sweet caring words from dear husband.

In 2007, we have endured seven years of marriage and he picked the winning Christmas card last December. For it says,

"The first time I saw you, I somehow knew you'd be important in my life.
In my eyes, you were beautiful in so many ways.
There was no doubt that I wanted to spend forever with you.

And when we got married, things were every bit as good as I'd hoped.
I didnt' want anything to change.
But... life is full of changes.
Not everyday can be paradise.

Together we've faced reality, the day to day "bumps in the road" that test every couple's patience.
I've seen you in many challenging situations.
And the miracle is...
you're even more beauitful than I thought possible.

Not only you are the woman of my dreams
but you're also my best friend.
And as time passes by
I fall more deeply in love with you."

That surely melted my heart and now I feel so loved up!

And I may have been yakking to my TRUEST of friends how life can be unfair sometimes. I now know that with a little faith, He will make me see the beauty that surrounds every desperate moment. Now I choose to live out of the shadows and walk into the light. And I will stay there as long as I breathe - together with my family - the love of my life.
