hello, 2010

dear you,

i spent my new years eve 11 stories above the rest of canberra.
gazing out onto the city i now call my home.
i spent my new years eve with 10 australians, many of whom i call my friends.
chatting, laughing, sitting as the hours passed us by.
i spent my new years eve with 9 dishes of food.
stopping by the table to awaken my tastebuds.
i spent my new years eve with 8 glasses of drink.
who knew there could be so many types of cool liquid in one place.

i welcomed my new years day with 1 question in mind.
where, oh where, will i be in 10 years?
i welcomed my new years day with 2 sets of fireworks exploding.
one downtown canberra, one downtown sydney--on the t.v.
i welcomed my new years day with 3 memories.
being young, scared the world will end.
being cold, dressed in sweaters and socks.
being home, surrounded by all of you.

happy new years, my family and friends.

sincerely,
shae
