The Year That Was



It's the last day of the year 2009 and I have a lot of catching up to do. Time really flies so fast and tomorrow is already another year.

Looking back, 2009 was a good year for me and my family. I continued to enjoy many writing jobs and I finally started work as a virtual assistant or VA. I've always been curious about the job of a VA and now that I'm one, I enjoy the variety in the work that I do. Also, it's nice to be able to help someone accomplish her tasks while at the same time fulfilling my own goals.

Healthwise, I'm thankful that not one in my family got sick. My mother has fully recovered from her illness and our kids are eating well. I gained a little weight myself which is another plus. My only wish is all of us continue to enjoy good health in the coming year.

The year 2009 also fulfilled my husband's wish of working on a cruise ship for the first time as a cook. He got on board M/S Salamis Glory for seven months and although his job was quite grueling having to cook for hundreds of people including crew and passengers, that gave him a lot of training and experience. The biggest fulfillment for him was having to visit several countries including the birthplace of Jesus, Bethlehem in Israel during their cruises.

And not to forget, my dear sister Tina finally tied the knot with Boboy on September 12. It was a much awaited marriage and we're all happy for them that they found each other.

Looking forward, we pray for more blessings in the coming new year. The best way to start it is with a positive attitude coupled with hard work and for sure, everything will fall into place. So I wish everyone a fruitful 2010. Cheers!!
