I cannot believe that its a New Year again but i am so thankful to God that my family is alive and well to see the start of another year. Before moving on, there is this fab questionnaire thing on London Buki's blog that i want to do to put some things in perspective for me. Life is really interesting...Febuary 3, 2007 was the date for my wedding. Obviously that is not the case now but its interesting that at the stroke of midnight here, HE called and we talked about that and us and what will never be.
On to happier things (LOL), the questionaire:

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Uzo! Sounds like you had a pretty interesting 2006. I thought about doing that post, but the thought was too scary! Here's to many more happy moments, moments of inspiration, moments of truth, moments of accomplishment, moments of challenge, moments of overcoming challenges... moments that take you closer to wherever you desire to be... have a wonderful year!
PS Are you still thinking about doing India this year?
@Azuka: Happy new year too...
@Daddy's Girl: I almost didnt do this as well but there's nothing like facing up to stuff...LOL. May this year be one of spectacular things for us all. Yes, God willing, i am still planning on going to india later on in the year. Are you still game?
Yep, I am still game. Need to work out the logistics of it (and it'll take a lot of working out), but yeah.
@Daddy's Girl: Yey. it will be so great if we can work it out. I am thinking later in the year after the summer rush. We can start planning it. Should be great.
Yep, that was the time I was thinking of as well... so yes, let's start planning!
