The coming of a 2-0-0-9

2008 has been wild. To our current economic tough times, new president, and natural disasters, this year has seen a bit of everything. As we proceed 2009, let us welcome the new year with a rejuvenated energy; A positive feeling so great that no negative energy can zap it away. Doesn't matter how much turmoil we may be feeling right now so long as we attract positive thoughts. The more we render on positive thoughts, it will attract us to give us good health, healthy financial background, and love all around.

As I did last year, I will reflect on my own successes/doings this year:

• Walked graduation during Spring semester (last semester of coursework) with a cummulative CSUF 3.45 GPA
• Successfully finished two internships (county of Orange & American Heart Association) & one graduate class (Geographic Information Systems for Public Health)
• Attended my first American Public Health Association conference (APHA)
• Went on a 3-day cruise to Mexico with Jose
• Went to Illinois for work/my 29th bday with Jose
• Continued to volunteer with CSP, Inc as Sexual Assault Counselor & voting volunteer with Orange County Asian & Pacific Islander Community Alliance during the election

As I ruminate in my own accomplishments, I am thankful for all that I have been blessed with. The opportunities, my family & friends, the everyday people that I come across to, and the inspiration I find in life.
