And yet another year goes by.

It's been a good year really. It also went by faster than I would have liked (but I say that about every year!).

I've travelled to quite a few new places, met loads of new people, done some new things (I never thought I would). I've had disappointments, lows and bad times but I think that the highs made sure that they didn't bother me too much.

On this slow boat ride a few days ago, I thought that I have a lot to be thankful for. Most of all a few people who I hold close to my heart and who I hope will continue to hold my hand, as I constantly need reassurance on my journeys!

"We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential." ~ Ellen Goodman

Here's wishing all of you a very, very happy 2008! May the force be with you. Here's to life and to potential! And to many more pictures in the New Year!

Christmas at Kundapur, watching the waters lapping gently, the fishermen going out to catch fish, the beautiful moonrise and just enjoying life in a house on stilts. A lovely and relaxing Xmas break on Amgol island. December 2007.

And as another year draws to a close.
