A brief look back on 2013

I thought 2013 was not a bad year. I published my first book, joined Toastmasters so that I can make speeches people have to listen to (!), survived another year, the financial pressure eased and I met many new and interesting people, as well as reconnecting with old friends. The year also brought me many valuable life lessons. If you want to know what they are, ask me. If you don't, that's okay.

I find the number 2014 pleasing to the eye and can only think that is a good sign of things to come. Not necessarily for everyone, as each person's perception of the world is aligned to their expectations, but for myself I am expecting only the best to turn up.

To those who didn't disappoint me, thank you for your important role in my life. For those who did, yours was the greatest lesson of all. I can only hope you found some value in the experience too.

In 2014, I will continue to explore life, hopefully with the aid of an air ticket, and remain true to myself, as ever. Anyone who wants to join me is most welcome. May all your wishes come true, so be careful what you wish for!
