for some of us, as I've heard some stories, 2009 was not a great start - but nevertheless, it's just another year to explore and create some stuff in our lives.
I ended 2008 with a fantastic time in JNB (yes, I managed to go) with my family. Param and I got to ride horses, play with the children, make food, chill and just have a relaxed holiday. It was so perfect. By the time it was midnight into 2009, I was 38000ft in the air shouting happy new year!! This was on my way back to Dubai. Oh well. It's not always a big countdown bash for all of us:)
At least on the 2nd of Jan, I was making love to the sun in Mauritius;) Two days of hot, steamy sunkissing. It's summer there. They work on Africa time also, everything is late and slow. Nevertheless, it was relaxed and fun, and I ate a lot.

Then off to freezing cold Munich after that. Good grief. A good bit of snow spread everywhere. It was personally my coldest experience so far and first time to see snow falling (if only dandruff sized, i saw it fall on my black gloves) and it was emotional. A colleague and I got lost at night (because we were chatting too much
and taking wrong trams into wrong directions). We went into a hotel to ask for directions to realize that we don't know the name of our hotel and we also lost our map, hahaha. Usually you'll get panicked and freaked out, but with our shared crazy and positive attitude, we took it as an opportunity which had no name. We just laughed. Don't know how, but we found our way back after a couple of hours. In the very early hours of the morning, I went for a walk to the English garden (almost an hour's walk). Well... I won't really call it a garden...By now I have quite a strong impression of how each different country works and feels to me. And I also notice how my news to you is influenced by my mood at the time of print. Now, while I'm in a very good mood at present, I do remember that many times, and especially lately I feel like putting a halt to my flying. And I've been meaning to share this with you. It is hard on my body, I am always sleeping for some flight or sleeping after a flight, and I miss being surrounded by a group of close friends. Despite it all, I have been making the best of what I have. Because after all, it is security. I do feel it's time to consider other things.
After much thought (and resistance), Param and I have taken some time apart. I can only speak on my own behalf that it has been one of my most challenging times. I have gone as low as seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, to motivating myself in the search of my own strength. So here I go on yet another journey, looking up, being grateful and hopeful.
Danke schoen for listening to my stories
Have fun
