As we are in the last month of the year you can't help but to reflect and think about what all has occurred in such a short and fast year. I am amazed at all the changes that have taken place not only personally but in the world as well.
I have to a certain degree felt a bit removed from the rest of the world this year, kind of like living in a bubble. It has been a strange but necessary experience for myself. There have been huge economic changes and shifts in the world, peoples mentalities changing and unions between groups where you normally saw separation occurring at a much faster pace. I believe part of it has to do with the ever fast-paced present globalization that has occurred. Of course like all things there are the pros and cons to any situation. But I feel that overall what has occurred in the world up to this point serves a certain purpose, for the better in the end. Yes I tend to be an optimistic person even in the face of some ugly things. But hey somethings never change :)
I am excited for the USA to see what will change with our new President. How exciting is this? I never thought I would see this in my lifetime actually, even though I feel a bit ashamed to admit that. However it has given me a newfound hope in man kind and that the majority of us is really ready for a change.. a true deep change. Not a masking of the problems.
For me personally the changes are dramatic, fun and deep. I can't say I am the same person in the way I do things in my life after almost one year of being here. But what I can say is that I am definitely doing my best to do my part in the world and have become a better woman for it. I look forward to more great memories as I connect with old friends in a few weeks time while I am at home finally after a long time. I look forward to re-igniting old relationships and sparking up the new as well.
I wish everyone a great December 2008 and much love and joy with your families.
In love and gratitude,
Asha
