I have a Twin!?

After not too much thought nor deliberation, Destri and I have come to the conclusion that we're either psychological twins or twins separated at birth...maybe from a past life.

Sometimes we say the same thing at the same time. Sometimes she's in the midst of asking me a question while, at the very exact same time, I'm in the midst of answering the question that she's about to ask.

Maybe we don't need to talk when we hang out anymore.
Maybe when we need to reaffirm a thought, we can go to each other to get the support we need.

Or maybe.. MAYBE... Just MAYBE..... Destri is a psychic and she's not telling me!?

Radio show

While I was on my way to work this morning, I was listening to my usual station when this story caught my attention:

Apparently, a 107 year-old woman in China decided to finally get married. The lucky beau? A 100 year-old man.

Kudos to them!

But seriously, if you're any kind of friend at all, please make me get married before I turn 50. Drag me kicking and screaming if you have to. Just remind me that it's for my own good.

2008 in Reflection

Most years I find myself reflecting on the previous year, often keeping those thoughts to myself. However, when I think about all the happenings of 2008, I don't think I can keep this thought to myself because it pertains to so much more than what happened during '08 - it pertains to the people nearest and dearest to my heart i.e. my friends and family.

My family and close friends know that it's been a rough year for me. Some of them have probably figured out that it's been probably one of THE toughest years I've ever had in my life. I've been scared, angry, sad, weary and leary. But I've been so happy too.

Happy because I have an amazing family, because my friends are incredible, and more importantly, because they choose to be in my life. They've pulled me out of the muck and washed it off. Brightened the darker days. Cared when I didn't want to. Laughed when I needed a smile. Listened when I babbled for awhile (about nothing). Poked fun when I was dorky. Cheered when I was happy.

So thank you from the very depths of my heart. You keep me going. You make the good things better. You are my heroes and angels.

Looking forward to another memorable year. Much luv always and yours ever so truly,

V
