Oh 2010 has come in. I wonder if it will be like a knight in shinning armour? It was ushered in so beautifully with lots of excitement and a huge display of fireworks. Gone are the days when there was only one place where Ugandans would view a fireworks display.... ten years ago, if you werent at the Sheraton gardens when the clock struck 12am, you were considered to be an outcast!! Everyone from all walks of life would gather and marvel at the fireworks display.
But today thanks to the world being a global village and financial improvement, some people can afford to have a 10 minute fireworks display! So whether you are in church or sitting in your compound at home, you can catch a glimpse of the spectacular display!
Well, 2010 is here! I wonder what she has in store for each one of me and eachone of us. I have waited for her with lots of mixed feelings; with a part of me not wanting her predecessor (2009) to end!! I am not ashamed to admit it that 2009such a good year. I made some personal and professional strides during that year and I was sad to let it go. I kinda felt widowed when it left!
When the fireworks lit the sky at midnite on Dec 31, 2009, I said adieu to one of my greatest years.
And ofcourse like each one of you, I wonder what this year will bring. I know that the beginning is going to be a little shaky..it has been like that for me ever since I learnt numbers and the alphabet... so I know it will take a while before I can confidently write or say that I am in 2010!
However, unlike the previous years when I would curl up in my bed on 31st Dec and make resolutions, I have decided not to!! I will just go where the chips fall!! I am going to try my luck and see where it takes me.
Some of the good foundations that were started in 2009 are following me into 2010 and I hope that the great moments and good luck that I had last year will follow me through not only this year but for many more years to come.
I would like to thank everyone who made my 2009 a great year. However small you think your contribution was, it meant the world to me. May God be with you and reward each one of you abundantly.
Happy new year good people, May 2010 be your year....a year of good achievements, happiness and good health.
God bless y'all
