Hello and Happy New Year to you! This is my first time here in 2008.And I just would like to mention how much I enjoyed writing on Blogger during the last year.I hope that someone out there might have enjoyed reading it as much as I did enjoy the writing process. If that is the case, then I could say that I fulfilled my mission on the Blogger site. If people found my writings boring, well...I can promise that I'll try to do better in 2008.

The first day of the year started in a very nice way at our office: mail boxes for a change were filled with the greeting messages insted of business ones, the office itself was overwhelmed by the rediculous amount of chocolate and by the sound of joyful radio waves that this time had a slightly classical flavor. This time it was Maria Callas and not Kylie Minogue. I do believe that it makes a refreshing difference!

And of course, people that I had to call, somehow all managed to give me positive news,-someone finally got their salary, another person got repatriated and was meeting the new year with his family and not away from them, one woman found out the truth about the certain issue that was troubling her deeply during the last year...It felt so good!

Let's hope that the entire year will have this light refreshing feel to it, let's believe that everyone on dry land and at sea will live in peace and harmony and that people of our world at some point will stop hirting each other. If it sounds too idealistic to you, please remember that the New Year's Day is a time when we are actually allowed to be somewhat idealistic. Happy 2008 once again, and please don't forget to read some of my bloggs on this very useful site!
