Gong xi fa cai! This Chinese New Year finds me in good spirits: things are going pretty well workwise, I'm starting on a short-term course in a week which could change my life in interesting ways, and I've got semi-viable plans through mid-2010. Which means 2009 is - in the gross - fairly decided. Pretty unusual!
It's also January 26, and - apart from hoping that nothing untoward happens in India today and remembering my Grandmum's birthday - my mind floats back a couple of years. Most of January tends to be quite loaded for me, emotionally speaking; it's nice, you get your emotional complexities out of the way first, and can then take on the year with clear heart, fresh mind, and fish.
Worry-wrinkles on the horizon? Naught but the usual: managing money, managing life, managing expectations. To say nothing of my weight, which also needs managing. And time, and friendships, and and and. Well, hey, nobody said life was easy.
One hope for 2009 is that I either get further away from family or closer to it :-). How that will be managed remains to be seen, but - oh, hey. Nobody said ... no, wait, I've said that already.
Oh, hey, congratulations might soon be in order too! Found out Jan 26, 2009, 11pm SGT, from someone who found out last night at 2am. Such excitement and happiness :-). I think it's a very promising thing, to happen so soon to the start of the year and all.
I ramble (my favourite Goon Show episode is on iTunes! And why not?), so I'll shut up now with another heartfelt have-a-great-2009-and-all-the-best-in-the-year-of-the-ox to everybody reading. See you all tomorrow.

"A beach house," he said, "doesn't even have to be on the beach. Though the best ones are. We all like to congregate," he went on, "at boundary conditions". "Really?" said Arthur. "Where land meets water. Where earth meets air. Where body meets mind. Where space meets time. We like to be on one side, and look at the other."
