And The Last Thing About 2025

reflections 1 Minute

One area where I felt I failed entirely is people relationships. I feel acutely that I didn’t do enough to keep my relationships and to reach out to people.  I neglected many of my friends, and I deeply regret it, because I need them, and I feel how much I miss them.

I was constantly in situations where I did not have an extra five minutes to message “how are you doing,” and I did not know what to do about it.

I am unhappy with pretty much everything in this area, and my most important goal for 2026 is to figure out how to change it.

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
