quick thoughts at the end of the year…
Posted in Family & Friends, People, Adventures, Love on December 31st, 2006
2006 has been an amazing adventure filled year with fun, challenges, experiences, and loss. The hardest part of the year was losing all my grandparents (Memaw, Grammy, Grandma, and John Henry). It was my first experience with seeing death as Mom and I were with Grammy as she passed. Most impactful was losing Grandma and John Henry quickly and within a week of each other. It still saddens and hurts me – and I miss them on earth immensely – but I know that they are all in a better place now. And I am so lucky to have had such amazing Grandparents that had such a wonderful impact on my life.
The positives are many for the year including travel to 20 different countries. I spent the beginning of the year in Africa and the end in New Zealand – talk about contrasts – and a bunch of places in between like Iceland and Russia. It’s been amazing and enlightening and energizing.
I have also finished work at Cendant/Travelport which has been a huge relief. I am so thankful for the experience and everything I have learned. And I am so thrilled to be moving on and away from the chaos and constant changes.
This year has also brought a move from London to Sydney. And I am happy about the change and am really excited about Sydney and look forward to settling in during the upcoming months.
Most importantly, I’ve spent great time with my family and friend throughout the year in all parts of the world. I am so lucky to have such a fantastic family and great friends all over! They truly keep my world going…
It’s been a ride and I’m looking forward to 2007’s adventures!
