This is probably one of those times when I'm more pensive, reflective.

There were some really high points in 2007 - moments of great joy, pride and achievement. But the moments of great anguish and pain (including the moments I'm not proud of), populate my memory more than the good ones, and sometimes still ache in my heart.

I pray I'd never have to re-live some of the unpleasant moments from 2007 ever again. I felt I was tested and reduced to pulp, and even now, am still trying to recover from it.

And if, by some fluk of a chance, I end up in those same situations again, I pray that it'll be a better me that can stand strong in the midst of the storm.
