In 2007 I..
- lost something meaningful
- left a burning city and now watch it burn again from afar
- loved and lost
- left home to live in a completely new country
- learned how to cook
- floated in the Dead Sea, waded in the Red Sea, and looked beyond to the lights of Jerusalem and Eilat
- befriended some absolutely amazing individuals who I want to have in my life forever
- worked harder, longer and with more determination than before
- felt the shock and disbelief of my mother dying all over again. May God rest Benazir Bhutto's soul in peace
- saw New Year fireworks from Taba and Aqaba, and the first sunrise of 2008 on the Aqaba beach
There are so many more things I want to write but I feel renewed after finally getting proper sleep in weeks last night, and I don't want to dwell on the past. I want to be...
forever young (Thanks Heidi for playing the song on the beach and getting it stuck in my head again!)Labels: future, jordan journal, music, random musings
