ooops

Been a while eh... it's been an emotionally charged month or so and because of this I didn't feel I could write anything that wouldn't have an "emotional" edge to it. Build-up to Christmas, Christmas, post-Christmas, New Year, family dramas, excessive drinking and eating - no wonder we're all in a slump in January.

So let me begin with "Happy New Year", I hope it really is a good year for you and your nearest.  So what's happened since I last saw you?  The aromatic Christmas tree is now in the back garden and we're trying to bring a dead tree back to life by sticking it in two feet of compost.  The new business idea came to a crashing halt.  If there's one thing I have learnt is that you need to be passionate about whatever venture you take on.  I was interested in making my business idea work but I don't ever remember getting that excited about it.  Plus I'm very good at putting stuff together but I lose interest soon after, which doesn't bode well.  Most importantly there really wasn't a market there for us and I think it would have been a lot of effort for little return.

What now?  Good point, I really don't know.  I'm looking at maybe taking an adult education course, something quite heavy and time consuming but I may have left this to late to enrol.  A few jobs have come up but back to "passionate", didn't really feel that passionate about any of them.  Which brings me back to the reason I started this blog, I thought by smashing my thoughts on paper I'd finally bring myself round to what direction I should take.  I envy people who are passionate about their work, who really get excited about where their job is taking them.  I want that but I just don't know what that job is.  I'm in a great position at the moment whereby I've been allowed to think this through, I just hope I get there soon.

Finally we're going to look at a property tomorrow.  I'm excited, this looks like our kind of place and it's overlooking huge parkland and has a little village atmosphere on the doorstep but it's still in London.

Before I sign off, I'd like to thank a chap called Aaron who posted on my blog last night.  It dragged me out of my January slump and got these fingers typing.
