Year 2007 Reflections: The joys, the tragedies, the memories...

My post about 2007...

The Tragedies-

I don't think I have gone through so much loss in so little time, as the last few months of 2007. From June through December, I lost four people. I KNOW that this is nothing compared to many people... but, before June, I had only lost 2 people in my life. It almost seems as if God was compensating for the last 24 years. I try not to dwell on it- I know that all this is a part of life... and, like I said, I am so lucky compared to many others. Anyway, may they all rest in peace and know that there isn't a day that goes by when I don't think of each and every one of them.

My mom is still very sick; we found out a few days ago, that her left shoulder has permanent muscle damage; however, on the bright side- she is getting better, overall.

The Joys-

I made great friends at Morrison and Foerester, got a great job at TIBCO, and made many more friends here. My little niece, Mira, turned one! I can't believe she runs and talks (albeit baby talk).

The Memories-

* My brother moved away to college... I do miss him a LOT, but I'm so proud of him. He has turned into a responsible young adult, regardless of certain things that could have had other adverse effects.

*All the funny things that happen at work- my neighbor next to my cubicle singing Indian songs (wrong lyrics!), the dark chocolate thief that takes all the dark chocolates when I'm not at my desk, Martha nicknaming us "cube monkies".

* My favorite bday card of all time- from Babbu - I LOVE IT

* The funniest dates, the weirdest dates, and of course, the most awkward ones.

* I remember the first time Miss Mira fell in front of me and started to cry... I cried too LOL.

* Babbu and I went and saw SAW IV- I love love love it!!

* Mission WII! Jose, Anu, Babbu, and I called every store we could think of for the Wii! Anu and I going to Wal-Mart at 6:00 a.m. for the Wii!! Not only that, we got KICKED OUT of there for sneaking in too early. Who does that?!

There are so many more memories, but I don't think I have the time to write them all here.

Life threw a lot of tough lessons my way in 2007, which, like I always say, makes me the person I am today; however, once again, I am hoping for a calmer, boring, and uneventful year... let's see what happens in 2008.
