Long time since I posted. Two months have passed. Christmas has been and gone. The country has ground to a halt after a few days of snow.
A friend commented that I didn't include a lot of the big things that have happened on here. Its tricky deciding whether this should be a baring of the soul. By its very nature you know that anything you put down here is up for public consumption and censure. I have avoided including the very personal or references to individuals. But does that make this an insubstantial record.
2009 a year of ups and downs. Sudden death which threw me for a long time. Proud moments as my first born graduated. Departures. Brief returns. It was all there. But alongside it was the realisation that the same person I became when I was on my own with Kate and Pete was still there. That Kate and Pete will always be the most important things in my life. They shore up everything I do. I am so proud of their intellect, their wit, their independence. And I made new friends. Reawakened old passions.
This week a gesture by someone I have never actually met touched me and made me feel very special. With very little knowledge of me, he deemed me worthy of generosity that added to my camera portfolio.
I wonder why the person who should be by my side never seems to see me as a person worth making effort and sacrifice for.
