Like Wendy, 2003 wasn't a very brilliant year for me either. For some reason, a friend or a family member of mine dies every year. Two years ago, a good friend of mine was kidnapped and brutally killed by someone I knew even better. Later on, a friend and fellow classmate over four years dies of an overdose. It seems to go like this in some kind of pattern, so I was really nervous about what would happen this year: My cousin's wife who was just over 40 dies of a heart attack, and then a very good friend of mine dies at the age of 17, as the brakes on his moped failed and he was run over by the train..
So the best I can hope for this year is for this pattern to be broken.
I'm also hoping that my health will improve this year. Whether this requires an operation, I don't care: as long as I can go through 2004 without too many visits to the doctor.
These two things will make my year.
Of course, the topic is what *good* things happened in 2003, so I can't leave without listing those:
- I got two jobs. Okay, so I hate one of them, but it pays rather well, so it'll do for now. The other one is pretty interesting and fascinating as I get to learn a lot about how the body functions, and how one can feel a lot better. So I sell the products that will help someone.
- I finally posted the first part of my story.
That certainly was a major step for me. <g>
- After having *a lot* of problems with my horse, Kurt, who just never seemed to get well. Blood, intestines, you name it - by using some new, specialized and improved hay, he's now actually 100% well and is now acting like a foal again.
Hopes and dreams for 2004?
- Finish school with good grades!
- Post the stories that are in my hard drive.
- Again, post the trailers that are in my hard drive.
That's all I can think of for now. Best of luck to everyone for the new year!
