My 2006 thoughts in 2007

Happy 2007 Friends.
It's been too long since I last pen down my thoughts... especially since my thoughts are usually quite random, and it's hard to when you have these thoughts in your head, and you're trying to talk to yourself and if it's a problem and these problems that you have.. you also try to solve them... and the moment you're distracted, those thoughts are just... pushed aside.. and usually, when pushed aside.. you tend to just forget.
Call it selective memory or the lack of it, I apparently suffer from both at times, and sometimes when days are really bad, at the same time.
So, it's 2007.
I had little to contribute in 2006. Blog wise. But I swear to god, if blogging were as simple as 'I have these thoughts.. and these thoughts can be magically transmitted from my brain to my blog page..'.. life would be easier.. I would have 15mins more a day to do something else apart from writing my random thoughts down,.. and according to some source in the papers today (yes..I actually attempted to read something other then what's in my Inboxl) if you utilise 15mins of your time a day effectively, you will have more time in the long run and the moral of the story is you will end up with 91 extra days in a year.. how that exactly works, don't ask me!

Back to my thoughts... 2006... albeit I conveniently swiped aside many important thoughts last year, I did take pictures to make up for it. You have to love the camera.. a digital camera to be more precise. It takes many pictures and it also allows you to edit on the spot...

Though it loses it's true reason to capturing beauty once, cause with the on digital camera's.. you really only get one try, and you won't see what you have taken till you officially send your photos for prints. Hence, I still love the digital camera. People have more fun this way.
So, maybe I won't be able to ever take great photographs like a propfessional, but who's to say if your photograph isn't a good, when beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder...

Back to what I meant to share,.. 2006. It didn't end with a bang, in fact quite the opposite. It was a change to have family from around the world be at one place in years, it was even better when my mom made all 30 of us a great Christmas dinner. My mom's like Mrs.Clause in disguise, and my sister was one of her little helpers.. ensuring everyone had something to open on Christmas day.
This year, I opened more presents than I did wine bottles. Which was a change.
In fact, my mom has a new little helper (my sister's other half) that took over my bar duties... I no longer had to stress over drinks for the guest, but actually sit down and drink with them guests.

Overall, I say it was one of the sweeter Christmas dinners at home with family.
A dashing Mr.Cat was also not neglected, but invited and the only Cat in the house.
And although... I didn't have my other half by my side, I do believe that we were together in our hearts and mind.. and like he always reminds me, "would you rather have me just at Christmas, or for the rest of the year?'

The rest of the year, of course.
