January 1st, 2009
Today, I want to drop all my modesty aside and congratulate myself for who I am and what I'm doing with my life.
I congratulate myself for living in Buenos Aires, Argentina right now.
I congratulate myself for investing so much time and energy on absorbing tango (both the music and the dance), becoming fluent in Spanish, and being accepted by my new Argentine friends.
I congratulate myself for having lived and traveled in so many countries all around the world, for speaking many languages and dialects, for my ability to fit in and turn a new place home wherever I go.
I congratulate myself for having loved and being loved many times in life.
I congratulate myself for managing a life, totally independently, with disciplines, courage, an adventurous spirit, and much love from many dear friends, mum, aunties and dad.
I feel extremely lucky, privileged and grateful.
Happy New Year! May 2009 be another year of love, peace and wonders to all of you good people I may or may not know!
