End of the year of false starts

It is the end of 2007. It has been a really full-on year. My friend and I call it the year of false starts. We are hoping that 2008 will be the year of true starts! I’ve had one of the most eventful years of my life, with many good things happening, but there is no denying it has been tough. I’ve been through the wringer emotionally but I also know I’ve grown up a lot and am much clearer on what I want out of life. I spent the first four months of the year travelling and doing voluntary work alone in India, Nepal and Tibet. I came home and decided to stop being so restless so I got a job, bought a house and fell in love. I guess I plan to tell these stories as I go along with this blog. I have a great need to write about my experiences – usually I journal in notebooks – but now I’ve decided I might as well journal online.
