As I sit before my computer this third day of December, it gradually dawns on me that in another 27days or so, this year would be gone and another new year(Year 2008) will be ushered in. Was it not just yesterday that we began this year 2007? Or is it only me who feels this year has passed by in a flash??I had made lots of plans for my life at the beginning of the year and sadly only got few carried out. I don’t like to think I am an unfulfilled person but it’s true. Right now I feel VERY unfulfilled. There are so many things I desire that I can’t boast of yet . Yea, I know as long as there is life there is hope for anything so am not going to go all broody and sad because I believe that though it make take time but I’ll definitely get to my promised land,lol!
This year 2007 has not been uneventful for me. Some things have happened - the good, the bad and the ugly and I intend to put some of them down here.

THE GOOD
My mum had a successful hysterectomy operation.
My mum had a successful hysterectomy operation.
My younger brother got a better job after he was unjustly laid off by his former bank.
My Company won a major advertising pitch.
I joined blogville and met lots of nice, wonderful people in the process. Yes, you reading are a wonderful person.
My other brother started recording his music album(A star in the making by the grace of God)
My friend Chico finally got a job after 2 years and he is steadily climbing up the ladder in his office.
THE BAD
We lost Mama, the elderly woman who lived in the compound before mine to the cold hands of death. Mama was a wonderful person and was a mother to everyone who came in contact with her. May her gentle soul rest in peace.

My younger brother (spoken of above already) lost his job in a very unjust circumstance. That bad has been over ridden by the good anyway.
I lost a friend Chioma in May. She died while giving birth to her first child. Rest in Peace Chioma.
I ended my relationship with my ex (one everyone thought was leading to marriage).
THE UGLY
After several miscarriages, my cousin finally carried her pregnancy to full term but the baby was still born after a gruelling caesarean operation. That was one harrowing experience. (Thankfully, she is pregnant again and the pregnancy is progressing very well).
Guys I have to stop here. Work beckons. Will add more when I remember them.

2007 has come and is almost gone, its time to take stock of all you done and move on to face 2008.
May your 2008 be better than your 2007...Nice one...
Reflections
I was going to post something on that but right now there is no room in my head to even reflect. Princessa remember the comment you left on my meetings palava post. God has not forgotten you and just as your brother got a fantabulous job after he lost the other gurl the good Lord will settle you big time in Jesus name.
You will have rest on every side, just tap into it.
Your Thirty Days of Thanksgiving said it all.
All in all a very fulfilling year I think. You even struggled to come up with convincing Bads and Uglies because they have been quickly displaced by the Goods. I have said it before and I will say it again. You are blessed. 2008 go even better.
I think this year ran a lil'bit fast... i thought it was just me...
may the rest of the year until next bring u greater joys, am more reasons to glow *wink*
Awwwh...thank you guys.

@ms.emmotions, true talk.
@nyemoni, thanks dear.
@30+, thanks love. Why do i feel the need to say the same prayer for you? God will settle us all BUG TIME in Jesus name, Amen.
@atutu, very discerning comment. I wa strying to remember the bads and uglies but not much came to mind. Seems like i have every reason to be thankful, right? You are a blessing dude.
@unnaked, thanks. Wish you all you wish me and more.
@30+, i meant BIG TIME,lol!
my God, I pray your cousin gives birth to a healthy child...
Dont add more to the bad and ugly just to the good.
I am thankful that you are going to make it to next year.
2008 will be an eventful year, you will have so much Good that you wont even be able to tell it all.
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And has shed his own blood for my soul.
IT is well with your soul Princessa
It is well
Babe I feel this way every end/begining of year but I think the way forwarding is making more plans...lol...so what if you dont achieve them, at least we are alive and well....
it aint just you P...time does seem to fly
and the good wouldn't be good without the bad and ugly...so with that said the rest is for you to figure out...lol
I believe your promised land is closer than you think.....
depends on how you look at it
you should see the winter storm we're having over here...
have a good week
Babes, the year is not over until it is over...Don't give up on this year yet, try to still reach out for those things not achieved yet, u might surprise yourself. The Lord will see you through. I thank God for your life.......
End d year in style and begin the next with God's favour
You are gonna face a perfect 2008
You are gonna achieve what was meant for you, and you only
You'll be able to overcome and stumbling blocks thats gonna come your way this coming year

times just so impatient this yr, flying through, not stopping at the cross roads, or following the traffic rules...at least it has one advantage, the blue mon=ments passes by quick.
thankGod for every moment as i keep reminding myself, its this way, but it could have been worse, the good might have been the bad, and now that did have been terrible.
i hope for the best of the rest of the yr, that all our dissappionts be turned into blessings in the coming yr.
ciao!
Will leave a message for you on my blog!

hey girl,
what is shaking? sorry - I have been in and out of blogville...but I will be back finally on Friday.
But, I think a lot of great things have happened in your life this year.
Be patient. :-)
AND SMILE!!
I'm happy for you.
You;re absolutely right. The year zoomed by pretty quickly.
Now i'm scrambling about trying to do as many things as i can from my unnerving to-do list.
cant wait for the updates.
happy you joined blogsville!!
we should just wonder how the years go by...
I am 35th Lolz, Nice post, I think I shall bite this ;)
Isn't life just like cake? Sweet ingredients, tasteless ingredients and then down right bitter ingredients. But it all comes together for good if that cake is being baked by God. He just knows how to put in all the ingredients in the right amounts doesn't He? The devils cake has no sugar and even if it does, it will no doubt lead to diabetes. Such bad belle!
God has obviously been good to you this year.
Congrats on all the success you and your family have enjoyed this so far. There's more in the offing.
Take care
2007 has been a good year ....who knows expect a miracle before it ends.
The year has flown by pretty fast but we know that 2008 will be an even better year for all of us.
2008 will be fabulous!!!
Its all well my dear, Your 2008 will be full of goods, and notice the goods listed are more than the bad and ugly.
Thank God for ur brother
