Thread: What are you glad about this year?

  1. #1

    Default What are you glad about this year?

    Dread's one seems a bit depressing, every year people seem to be "well glad that year's behind us" ... I've actually enjoyed 2010 on the whole. So what's made you smile this year?

    After over a year of difficulties trying to do so, Amanda and I buying our first home has definitely been my highlight

    What's with all the looking back and reflecting? You people are all getting fucking old and depressing.
    We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.

    Indeed, on the back of my thread, I should say this was amazing year.

    + Switched jobs and it turned out fabulously.
    + Took my first vacation in 2.5 years and saw Hong Kong, Shanghai and Australia. Brain stopped engaging with daily grind (good thing) and went skydiving.
    + Had a really relaxing summer; extended a bunch of domestic work trips into fun side trips.
    + While I wasn't able to start a steady relationship, they were all good experiences and I learned a lot about myself.
    + Spent lots of time with the family helping take care of the kids.
    + Did something crazy and irresponsible for once and bought a car.
    + Finally got to walk away from the censorship of Atard and be here.

    Actually, I've welcomed the New Year in a jumper and full of cold, feeling old for the first time.

    Bad news, you're right there with us. Attitude and great looks can't change it.

    1. Got the mortgage in principle for my new home - just waiting for the bleeding thing to be built.
    2. Brought a new car (A right bargain too!)
    3. More importantly, I still have my job.

    1. My language/holiday trip to Australia. It has been very interesting to travel so far on my own. Seen a lot and met many many people. I also think it got me further in the way I approach people.
    2. Seeing Venice. Absolutely wonderful place, so different to any other city.
    (Fuerteventura was also nice but compared to my other two trips not so special)
    3. Starting my new job at my family's company. It mostly went well. I still need to learn a lot though as I will have to take responsibility for it in the future.

    I'll put this here. Elton John has a baby son. And his middle name is Levon.
