I thought I would complete the prerequisite 2006 recap in pictorial format. The result of which surprised me a little.
This first photo is a prime example of how I surprised myself. I knew I was unhappy. Yet, I tried to tell myself I wasn't. This is what I created. The 'comfy' shirt. The grayscale. The expression. I certainly didn't recently win the lottery.
While it was gray outside...
...I did my best to brighten my day inside. A photo which led to some surprising actions on my part. It was a coming out of sorts. Perhaps more of a breaking out and shaking off of the things in life that were weighing me down.
After going home and centering myself I really was startig to feel like I could do anything. I felt renewed in a way that only a trip home can do.
After ten years with the same vehicle, I traded in my Jeep for another. Green. Jeep. Some habits are hard to break.
This summer provided some fireworks of their own. Traveling to Chicago for the first time. Getting all settled in from my move.
I was told by a former coworker that I looked really happy. She was so accustomed to seeing me with such a perma-smile. At the time there was a lot of change going on, but I was very happy. Maybe the professions that I had been making were true. Maybe I really DID like change...
A change in what (or who) occupies your thoughts is certainly a change I welcomed with open arms.
The holidays passed. Thanksgiving... Christmas... New Years...
Now here we are at the start of a brand new year. I think 2007 is going to be a good one.
In the past I made a wish for something that I didn't know the power it held. I didn't regret asking for it. I was unprepared. I know to careful what you wish for. That was my lesson in 2006. Now I feel more ready than ever. Renewed. Energized. Prepared. Alive. I feel like I can do anything because I have everything as an option. It feels great.

I'm a 30-something student of human nature. A music-lovin', groove-shakin', laugh-inducin', dish-cookin', gossip-slingin', type of guy. This is my diary of sorts...
