wood. trees. clarity.

the thing with blogging is that when you haven’t blogged in while (say 6 months or so...), it becomes a ‘thing’ on your ‘to do’ list. not a ‘must catch up with so-and-so’ thing but more like a ‘must wash the windows’ thing. suddenly, it’s a chore.

so it’s been six months, where to begin? i guess, the only thing i can say is that it’s been a challenging few months. there have been some wonderful moments (friends visiting, furnishing the new flat, a promotion at work) but there’s also been some trying work moments which i have let consume me, my consciousness and my mood. my monkey mind was so busy i couldn’t see the wood from the trees – i never understood that saying until i lived it. but that was then, and this is now.

clarity. it has been restored. i’ve come out of the last few months as a more focused  person and have entered an exploration stage of my life: questioning my career, my life direction and my goals. fortunately, i’ve had wonderful friends and family and an unbelievably understanding partner. so thanks to everyone for your wisdom and support and my apologies for being a bit of a crap friend, son, brother and partner over the last few months.

life is too short to not notice the beauty i see every morning i walk to work -
