An old friend…

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

At least, and unfortunately, it seemed like one. It was that feeling of complete inadequacy, of being stuck, of being not good enough, of all that other garbage that sneaks into one’s thinking when that door opens even the tiniest crack…

Yup, it poked it’s nose in today. And yesterday too for that matter. And no, it never really got kicked out… Not yet. But tonight it’s a bit more at bay than earlier today or yesterday even.

What helped? Chasing Honda Civic’s on US75 in a mini-van. Yup. Always helps. It’s that old Nicolas Cage line (that is not even listed in the quotes section of IMDB for Gone in 60 seconds… for shame!). Cars and speed cure all :-)

Now all is quiet again. And the choice of how to finish the day is entirely mine. And the choice of not letting tomorrow be dictated by circumstances (money, kids, weather, “other people”…) will be mine as well. Well I make better decisions than I have today? I hope so… We’ll see…

Wouldn’t you know it, next week is Christmas. And my birthday… and then just 3 days later, the end of the year 2008. And what a year it was. It will definitely go down as one of the most eventful years in my book. But we’ll get to that later :-)

Somehow, that last part is… interesting. It is and not just because, duh!, it will define where life goes from here as far as lil ole me is concerned, but because it is full of unknown opportunities ready to be taken! That’s right. There are more people than ever to enjoy adventures with, work is more uncertain than it has ever been for me (well, with the exception of moving to the US without a job ;-) ), there are more hobbies to explore, more challenges to overcome, more books to read, more things to learn… The list goes on and on… It is quite exciting really!

But by far the most exciting is the group of people I’ll get to go on this journey… my family, my friends, my team-mates, my colleagues…

Yes, I did discover that I was more of a social person that I believed to be…
