Hmmm screwy...
Well, it's New Year's Eve so, for the benefit of those that still take time out to read this stuff, I will look forward for once instead of going backwards. Having said that, a quick review might not be a bad idea...
This year, whilst being in a state of free fall, I have achieved a load of goals (Che, I apologise for describing you as a goal - you are so much more than that). I broke out of the slump that I have been in for so long and started making some changes. Whilst it's true that one of the reasons I wanted a house of my own was to give up living like a student and start being a grown-up I don't think I have managed that yet. I have the house, now I just need to change my attitude. On top of all this I have had my world turned upside-down by an unexpected and welcome force of nature (Che, I make no apologies for describing you as a force of nature - There is no better way of describing you). I have gone from feeling despondent to depressed to vomit-inducingly happy all in the space of a year and, in turning thirty, I have finally managed to wave goodbye to my teenage self (well, ok, make him more of an occasional visitor rather than a permanent house-mate).
So what of 2004?
To be honest I'm not sure. There is so much of my life that is in a transitional state that it's hard to say. There are a few things that are beyond certain:
I need a new job
I need to travel
I need to sort the house out
At present I don't know how I am going to do it but the idea of upping sticks and disappearing to warmer climes is never far from my mind. There are various schemes that will allow it and, if I rent out the house, I should be able to afford it. The important thing is that the future doesn't look as harsh as it did this time last year. I have made my way through a lot of life-changing experiences this year and I don't want them to stop - I am a thrill seeker but somewhere along the way I stopped looking. The good news is my eyes are wide open again and I keep seeing new thrill opportunities all over the place.
Happy New Year everyone, may this year bring you all the things you so richly deserve.
