			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last year, I came up with a theme &#8211; <a href="http://www.yevka.com/2008/02/09/simplify-make-a-theme/" target="_blank">Adventures</a>.  The lack of blog posts didn&#8217;t really help acknowledge the adventures I went through, but I assure you, it was a very apt theme.  From my comfort zone, I moved on and forward, and I truly felt going out of my shell.  I still feel the need to document, but I guess I like talking about the present, so you&#8217;ll probably be seeing snippets only of those adventures.</p>
<p>This year, marks, yet again, another special year.  Very soon, I&#8217;ll be ending my &#8220;<a href="http://www.yevka.com/about-this-blog/" target="_blank">Twenty-something</a>&#8221; blog theme as I reach the big 3-0.  As with 2008, I&#8217;m creating a theme to set my &#8220;game&#8221; of the year. I&#8217;ve been thinking about it a few days already, and some of my possible themes had been &#8220;growth&#8221;, &#8220;change&#8221; and a good fair bit, &#8220;letting go&#8221;.  For one reason or another though, it didn&#8217;t seem right.</p>
<p>With due respect to my upcoming thirty self, the theme I&#8217;ve chosen is <strong>Celebration</strong>.  As &#8220;growth&#8221; and &#8220;change&#8221; seems to be inevitable anyway, Celebration involves several things, including letting go of my twenties self, and finally acknowledging, appreciating and celebrating the peak years they call 30&#8242;s.  I intend to celebrate, also, successes, friendships, loved ones, occassions, work life, and learnings.</p>
<p>So Cheers, 2009!    :thumbsup:   Give me your best shot!</p>
<p>What&#8217;s your theme for the year?</p>
<p>Thanks again to <a href="http://www.steveshapiro.com/" target="_blank">Steve Shapiro</a> as I reaffirmed my need for a purpose.</p>
