The year has flown right by me, in flashes of rain and rays of sunlight, I sit here now, taking a cup of green tea, clutching at the straws of time I did not want to let go. There's moments I can't recall but some that will forever be etched in my memory.
I remember the 1st of January 2011, all my new year resolutions clearly written down, excited to be carrying the most precious gift, Ken doing the final touches to the house, finishing up on my MBA thesis, I was ready to take on the year.
Its been a great one! Huge challenges, but when I reminisce, I came out stronger and better.
Ethan is 8 months now, his all grown up with a big toothless grin , indeed time flies and the harder you try and grab a hold on it, the faster it melts away.
Ken has an album of Ethan since birth to date! every detail captured!
Globally, we have had our gains and losses too. We have lost many esteemed actors, artists, performers and sporting icons- hopefully, their legacies will leave on. I personally mourn , Steve Jobs, an inventor, entrepreneur and chief executive, he changed the world as we know it.
Amy Winehouse a singer who had a short but incredibly successful career. Her album ‘Back to Black’,is my all time favourite! She won critical praise as well as a plethora of awards.
Elizabeth Taylor, a true heavyweight on the silver screen for the last 60 years, she was also known for her glamorous lifestyle.
Great Economies have suffered, with prices of crude oil at an ever high, Inflation at the highest! Economists predict that 2012 will not be an ease one-Some things we absolutely no control over.
Kenya is currently in an "operation Linda nchi" Mode, flushing out the outlawed Alshabab Militia- we wish them all the best.
Big thumbs up to Martin Odour Owino and Bob Collymore and other Chief Executives who answered to the Kenya for Kenyan's call. Thousands of hungry Kenyans were fed- Asanteni Sana! we outdid ourselves.
I race my mind and I could write 100 pages, to sum it up, It's been a good year. I look forward to a better one. I am ready to embrace whatever is next, believing this is the best so far. For tomorrow is not guaranteed, Telling myself that I can deal with whatever 2012 may bring, I know i can fight this battle as its always a war, On tomorrow. On love. On learning the lesson. On peace of mind and living in and enjoying this moment.
So here is to accepting tomorrow, rainstorms and sleet, bright skies and golden leaves, whatever it will be, I will make the best of it!
Love,
Emma K!
