I've talked about this Meme in this post. Here are my first answers:

1. Take a few minutes to reflect on the previous year. What are you happy with?

- I'm really, really happy with my experience here in CW. It's awesome being part of such a nice community; besides, I'm starting to get some feedback, and I love that.

- I'm also happy with myself; I've learned a lot this year, and I feel I'm more centered and mature (although, I don't quite feel I'm a grown up; perhaps I'll never will).

- Off course, I'm euphoric about my marriage. It's like a good wine: it gets better as time goes by. My dear husband, I LOVE YOU!

- And last but not least, I've dropped 31 lbs. since March 2005. Isn't that great?

2. What are you unhappy with?

- Well, overall, this has been an unfortunate year for me. I'm not going into details, but off course I'm not happy about that.

- I've sent a manuscript to a few publishing companies, in April, and I haven't got any answers yet.

- I haven't been able to manage my time efficiently. It's been hard to balance blogging and "real life".

3. What unexpected joys did you discover during the year?

- BLOGGING! I've discovered it this year, and I love almost everything about it: writing, researching, reading blogs, comments (either making and receiving them), making friends and meeting interesting people... I'm sure this is a passion that will last all of my life.

That's it for today. More answers and reflections on the next days. What about you?
