2014 has been a year of ups and downs in the Gorven-Cossey household. Life cannot be smooth sailing all the time, and one has to anticipate misfortune even when things seem to be perfect.
Ups:
- William received his South African permanent residency;
- I finally completed my Bachelor of Accounting Science degree;
- William bought himself a new car;
- I started working at a multi-national courier company after three months on the job hunt.
Downs:
- Our beloved cat, Salem, crossed the rainbow bridge. We did not have enough time with her, and she is very sorely missed, even though she has been gone for 7 months; and
- William had to have a knee operation to reconstruct his anterior cruciate ligament following a niggly football injury
Other noteworthy events:
- Some friends welcomed their children into the world (Candice & Sheldon, Mellisa & KB, Kirsty & Guy, Carey-Anne & Ryan);
- While others discovered they are expecting (Ange & Roger);
- Other couples tied the knot (Mbali & Mpho); and
- Colleen & Fernando took the first step towards a new life together by getting engaged.
Looking into the horizon and the coming year in general, I foresee a year not without it's challenges, but one filled with hope and new beginnings. My goals for 2015 are as follows:
- Complete my Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting Science (CTA level 1);
- Tick off the last remaining item off my 2014 goal list by completing an open water scuba diving course); and
- Fulfill my life long dream of visiting Egypt.
Wishing everybody a successful 2015!
