Another year approaches

I'm turning 29 next week, as I look back, this was one of the most turbulent of my life.

I made a lot of wrong decisions which were remedied by different moves later on, on the whole it was a good year results wise, although the steps taken were quite painful.

I list below a not-so-detailed account of the goings by month.

November 2007: I make a move to a major local retailer, leaving my multi-national industry leader for double my package, which seemed right at the time, later turned out to be the ruin of my career.
December 2007: I go into a brief relationship which showed me that I can be a bastard like anyone else.
January 2008: Problems arise at work which result in me starting to look for a move, for the first time I'm threatened of losing my job, cause I took the fight to a personal level with an unscupulous character.
February 2008: I end the relationship I started, being forced to by someone speaking behind my back.
March 2008: An old relative of mine re-appears in my life, giving me better leverage, we had been torn apart by the division bell, people call religious beliefs.
April 2008: Job hunting with no success.
May 2008: My boss resigns, which gives me more time to look for a job, may he never experience a moment of happiness.
June 2008: Nothing
July 2008: An old friend re-approaches me after disappearing for 15 months, the greatest event of the year.
August 2008: I find a new job effective September, life is looking brighter by the moment.
September 2008: I move to my new job, start finding a purpose for life finally, I hope my dream realises after 8 years of waiting.
October 2008: I break my last tie to my old chums, a decision I should've taken long ago.

So there you see, it was a fruitful year, though full of unexpected turns, I don't regret anything except the delays that came on the way.

I hope the next year will be a continuation, no more turning points for me, except on one field which I hope will be settled finally.
