I want to start off by doing the usual thing and remarking about how long it is since i have blogged.. blah blah. I have no excuse, I just had nothing that I really wanted to share with all and sundry since the last posting, it is as simple as that :).. and laziness.
2011 had a lot of ups and some downs. Recently we dealt with a big event that brought with it a lot of sadness, some of you know what I am referring to others may not. We are getting on ok but time is always the best healer. Christmas is rapidly approaching and tomorrow we depart the shores of Canada headed back to Australia. This will be my first return trip back to Australia since we relocated to Canada over 2 years ago. I am really not sure what to expect. There are some things I am looking forward to and others I am not.
Towards the end of the year I managed to get myself my first oil and gas job which is pretty awesome. Although when I broke the news to the people at my old job I mainly got a bunch of negativity which really came across as bitterness ect. When someone is moving on generally you should wish them the best but apparently some people took it a bit personally. I have been gone almost a month now and there is no looking back for me, this was the change that I really needed.
I am a big believer in the saying that you make your own luck. I can think back to times a few years back when I would think I had the worst luck in the world and nothing seemed to go right. Then I took a good hard look at some of the things I was doing and some of the decision I made.. I had to make some tough calls and a few life changes, before I knew it everything seemed to go the way I wanted it. It takes persistence, a bit of stubbornness and sometimes accepting that you don't always have full control over everything.
All in all 2011 has been a pretty good year and I look forward to kicking back over a couple of kegs of Homebrew, reflecting on the year with my friends on New Years Eve!
