Sandy tagged me with this. It is a pretty interesting meme. Makes thinking back on the past a bit easier.
1. What did I learn?
I learned that perfection or being whole is a moment by moment thing. You aren't really there if you think you have reached there. One step at a time.
Also, you can eat an elephant one bite at time.
2. What did I accomplish?
Workwise, I have accomplished a lot. I have become more confident. Brought closure to certain things which helped open up certain other things and be more effective in the new stuff. Personally, I have grown my hair real long, I have learnt to cook at least some basic stuff…
3. What would I have done differently?
Treated some people with true respect instead of look down on them like I did.
4. What did I complete or release?
Brought to closure some issues. Also, accepted the fact that there are certain things that I cannot change and I need to accept the person/situation as it was and learn to live with it. It was sort of releasing for me and for the person/situation.
5. What were the most significant events of the year past?
Met my best friend again almost after three years.
6.What did I do right?
Swallowed my pride and behaved less arrogant and in that I earned a friend.
7. What were the fun things I did?
Movies and dinners at Anju's, outings with friends. All these involved a lot of laughter. Blogging. Bloghopping. Working. Hanging out with my brother. And with his bunch of friends too. Took a trip to Delhi and from there to Kiki's wedding.
8. What were my biggest challenges/roadblocks/difficulties?
Insecurities - mine and that of people around me.
9. How am I different this year than last?
I'm more confident about who I am. Not entirely yet, but I have come to face the facts - there are certain things that I am not good at, but then there are other things I am good at. I am learning to be comfortable with both.
10. For what am I particularly grateful?
Friends, roof over my head, God's provision and His faithfulness even when I am not particularly faithful, Romans 8:32, my folks and my past.
I tag JollyRoger, Sandhya, Anju, Gitu, Kiki, Kriti, Kirthi, and anybody else who wants to play along.
