Sitting here reflecting on life I realise I have all I ever wanted... except maybe a kitten... but that's just not practical right now! I wanted a husband, someone to travel the world with -- tick. I wanted a camera -- tick. I wanted to be happy -- tick. I wanted to travel -- tick. I wanted to be in love and be loved -- tick. I wanted to be a success -- tick. Success is different things for different people - for me it's having a good job and just being a decent, contributing member of society. Things aren't all perfect, I've certainly had my ups and downs over the last six months... but I can't really complain. ... except I don't have a kitten... and some chickens... and we don't own a house yet - but they are things to look forward to, eh?
