I had a good year. Got a promotion, which meant more money, and I have also taken on the responsibilities of my new role well. I have always wanted to write a book, and this year, I decided to take it seriously. And so, I replaced patchy sessions of on again, off again writing with consistent periods. I write almost every day now, and I have also had a few articles published this year. At the start of the year, I became abit distressed because my head hurt so much when I tried to read, and it was taking away one of my passions - books, especially fiction. Again, I pulled my finger out, and went to a bunch of optometrists. The third one told me that I didn't need to buy expensive glasses - I just needed to do some eye exercises for 1/2 an hour every day. I can now read again. I have read more books this year then in the past 5 years. The train ride to and from work has now become enjoyable (I used to loathe it) because I am lost in a book. I also do other exercise everyday - jogging, weights and situps. I travelled to Malta, Vienna, Prague and New York. All beautiful places. I also got some female action in my personal life, and for that I am happy. Right now, I am looking to buy my own house. Life is okay. We all grow slowly, in stages, if we allow ourselves to grow.
