2011 is off with a bang!

Dreamy first anniversary on a piece of paradise. Jojo's wedding brought back memories of our own perfect wedding(s).

A new job. Welcome change. Excitement. Growth. More upside than downside. It will turn out to be what I make of it. It's time to crank up the engines and enjoy the ride.

A break up with the only employer I have ever known. A particularly generous employer. After a near-perfect 8 years. The memories have all been special. It will be with difficulty, and with gratitude. It crushes me to succumb to the adage that all good things must come to an end.

My interesting little adventure - unpaid, part-time internship with the renewable energy fund manager. How my eyes lit up during my first briefing with William and the two idealistic high school kids! Time to learn, and to work hard.

A year full of promise!
A 90-day plan.
A happy love life.
Work that is new. Work that I like.
Care of the plumbing and wiring. Diet. Exercise. Meditation.
Time behind the shutter. Hoi An. Web portfolio. Lightroom. Gallery.
Her own compass. Her inner peace.
Our nest egg. Our own nest?
Time for the word. For the road. For the deep blue.

Passage

2010 was special.

Our first full year of married life. Blissful companionship. We love it. A memorable honeymoon in the Maldives. Homemaking. Kiwi road-trip. A really Merry Christmas.

Rough and tumble on the career front. Joyless, easy work. Uncertainty. Complexity. Near-misses. A rather unremarkable resolution. More of the same. Some pots on the fire. Interesting times. Desperate for work that gets me out of bed.

General good health (touchwood). Just the unwelcome bulking up and the risk of prematurely clogging up the plumbing.

Photography has enjoyed some devotion. I can see progress. Especially after Xinjiang. A bit more persistence and a steady supply of visible encouragement should push me along. There is more lined up.

More travel ahead. A bit of diving. Language in spurts. Grossly under-read.

Some great friendships built and re-built. Money to manage. Perhaps a home?

The search within continues. Now, with some structure, momentum and professional help.

Revamp

A new look for the new year.
