In 2011 I have laughed, cried, grown, evolved, made mistakes… and learned from those mistakes, I fell in love… and then found out it wasn’t love, I’ve kissed and broken up (twice), gave up on life and learned to enjoy it again, I remembered and found I was not forgotten, made new friends and renewed old friendships, I’ve been betrayed and I got back on my horse after a long fall.
I became a dad for the 3rd time… and felt closer to my sons than ever. I have missed them and hugged them like I’d never let them go. I longed to hold one of them in special for far too long, and I held him tight when the time came that I could do so again. I’ve had “the talk” about birds and bees learned one thing or two from my sons too.
I have learned that it is better to love and cherish what we have than miss what we have lost.
I have learned that I am awful at being single but have learned to like my own space.
I’ve moved around to different towns and back and forwards in and out of The Attic (twice)…
I have found new things about myself that I could count… And have found out that the more you search the less likely you are to find yourself… funny that, right?!?!?!
I’ve learned I am quite good with ropes… and had a good chance to use all the knots and tricks I’ve learned as a boyscout… And I simply LOVED photographing the results.
I started on with a few projects… most of them were shelved again… there was is just too much going on in my life that I needed to get out of the way before getting them out there… I have sabotaged myself… a lot… But I have decided that 2012 will be a sabotage free year… I am putting my act together and getting my priorities straight…
in 2011 I’ve taken some GREAT photos (not being big headed… just proud of myself) and in 2012 I am planning to take even more of those… As well as making sure I don’t neglect this blog… I’ve got a few plans… and specially if you enjoy photography… well… keep an eye in this space… 
Life is just like the song says… “You live… You LEARN…” and in 2011 I have definitely learned… Life goes on! And bring on 2012!!!
What have YOU learned this year???
we sure do live and learn. 2011 has been a very significant year for you and I imagine 2012 will be just as so.
A very happy new year to you.
