Colombia’s
Wish List For 2009
As a new year rises on
the horizon, many of us
feel compelled to
reflect upon the year
that comes to an end,
and create a list of
wishes and goals for the
year that is about to
begin. Knowing that we
probably won’t fulfill
all of our wishes, we
are encouraged to dream
big, and, at the end of
the year, see what we
have gotten and what we
didn’t.
