O ano novo. 2008!

Happy New Year!
Well, it's 2008...pretty crazy. And I suppose it is time to reflect on the year.
The first event of 2007 that comes to my mind is leaving my country, on an adventure of a lifetime..one I will never forget.
2007 has been the most exciting year of my life. And I can say that without doubt.
I remember writing a list last new years of things I wanted to accomplish in my life. Off of that list I have already accomplished learning another language, and living in another country. 2 huge goals.
I have found that I have grown immensely this year. Beyond what I thought was possible. I have achieved an understanding of the world that some don't ever encounter. I have come to understand better my place in the world, my desired path in life, the things that are important to me...and I can say, without questioning, that I spent this past year of my life in the best way possible. I didn't waste one minute. And that makes me glad.
One thing that I have found I fear is losing time. I have a fear of not living my life to the fullest. Of not seeing everything there is to see, not being everything I can, and I can say that I have lived to the fullest this year, and I know the next year to come will be the same. Full of excitement, changes, growth, realizations...
2007 brought a lot of changes. 2008 will bring even more.
