2007: All over bar the shouting..
Woodpigeon Started conversation Dec 29, 2007
2007 was an "interesting time" for me, I think. More good than bad, overall.
I finally left my job, and I started in new job in Dublin.
I finished my thesis, and graduated with a first class honours Masters degree in business.
A small black spot on my neck quickly turned into a major health-scare.
I won a big speech evaluation competition.
I fell from a rock ledge while out walking by the coast: giving me a scar on my leg that I'm kind of proud of!
I went to my youngest sister's wedding in Toronto, and another wedding in Brittany.
I read out a few of my own poems at a poetry night - something I had never done before.
I climbed a few mountains (and hope to get one or two more before the year finally comes to an end).
I spoke for 2 minutes about best man speeches on national radio.
Things improved on the home-front.
I made and kept a number of good friendships. My friends were a big help to me in what was sometimes a difficult year.
Here's to 2008. I wish you all a fantastic year ahead of you.

As we will continue
I don't know what I'd do without my friends.

I know the Round Robin kind of letter gets a lot of stick, and it's not something I'd include in all my Chritsmas Card, but it is useful to look back over the last 12 months in a positive frame of mind.
Might do similar in my own journal - cheers Woodpigeon, here's to 2008

I hope that 2008 holds nothing but the best things for you, Woodpigeon. I enjoyed meeting and hanging out with you some of the times you were in Chicago- so thanks for adding some fun times and a good friendship to my roster for 2007.
Happy New Year!
