I don't believe years are for or against you. I believe you make your own luck. The universe can throw some pretty hard curve balls at you and you roll with the punches. Never give up and never give in.
Having said that, 2013 was a pretty great year, filled with migration, adventure, uncertainty, first birthdays, last days, hobbit holes, new friends, reacquainted old friends, gainful employment overseas, legendary nights out and sober New Years in.
New ink, new hopes new horizons!
From the short glimpse of what 2014 has to hold I know I'm a lucky guy. And if the luck changes tomorrow, it's back to the school of hard knocks.
In the last 24 hours I've been stung on the foot by a stingray, had a big nasty spider crawl over my ear and been biten by Mosquitos in places angels fear to tread. Wouldn't trade a minute!
Here's to the New Year!!
