Then and Now

2007.12.31
Early school photo - aged about 5 or 6


For the Theme today. I didn't think I had any pictures of myself as a child but it's surprising what you find if you look.

Anyway, here's the end of 2007 and I'll be glad to see the back of it. How will I remember it?

It was the year I lost my sister - it's strange; even though we didn't see much of each other, living so far apart, I miss her very much.

It was a year of lost opportunities and opportunities taken. A year when I was let down by someone I thought the world of, a year when I should have made more of a friendship which could have been something special.

A year when I threw myself into stuff just to keep me busy - travelling to 5 new countries that I hadn't visited before, learning to scuba dive, putting much more effort into my photography.

I have no expectations for the year to come - if anything, this year has taught me to take one day at a time. I will be travelling more (3 trips already booked) and continuing with PhotoBlog and my other web site.

I want to learn new things so who knows what the future will bring?

I wish you all a happy New Year and a fulfilling 2008.

Dave.

cavist Nice story, a bit sad though. But this is the time to look back (and hopefully not in anger!) to the ending year and make plans for the next to come.
Thank you for the wishes and I surely do hope to see more exciting shots from you! Have a great year end and even better coming 2008!

TIM927 I agree with u ,,let´s 2007 go away, im also glad it does. U give us here an important part of your life so I have to thank you for being here sharing it, wish u the best, and dont forget,,look forward but keep good things from the past in a good corner of your mind, you will need them. Maybe you dont realise it but you got really much wiser in 2007 for sure ;)

burbulz I don't know how I missed this post.
It's been a long half of a year. Hope that things are getting better. And six months later I will see you smiling.
