And rounding up 2007…

2007 has been really a milestone of sorts for me.

I went through all the 5 stages of grief. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally, acceptance. I know I know, he didn’t die… but I guess you could say that he died in my heart in a way. I would’ve never thought it, but I really don’t like him now. He just shows more and more what a jerk he is. Yuck.

I got a new job, and despite some initial misgivings about getting along with my colleagues, I’m now proud to say that I get along with my ‘gang’ and am glad to have them in my life right now.

I had a really bad shock when my dog got so sick and I thought she was gonna die. I’m so so thankful that she’s still alive when I wake up every morning with her warm body snuggled against me.

And of course, I’m so glad that he’s in my life. Many people have told me to give it up because we’re so neither here nor there. But does it really matter? I am happy. I think he loves me for who I really am. He’s seen me sleeping like a pig without makeup and sweaty and crappy, and he’ll still look at me and tell me that I’m beautiful. My best memory of 2007 is that week he stayed over at my house. I still smile when I think of him sleeping with my dog curled up on top of his tummy.

2007 got pretty good towards the end… hope 2008 is ever ever better.

婷，希望我们能一起拥有幸福，满满的幸福。
