So, I finally have time to think...
My
"new" job started on Monday, 1/23/12. It turned out to be far more
challenging and overwhelming than I initially anticipated, and it
definitely made me wonder why I took it in the first place. As
stressful as the job may be at times, I have no regret. The
most important thing I've learned from this experience is: I've pushed
myself to go outside of my comfort zone; I've pushed myself to live through
something new and different; and I've convinced myself that, in the end, I
am still capable of starting fresh.
I
continue to nurture my photography endeavor. Looking back on the past
12 months, it was Photography that gave me the courage and "reasoning"
to take so many untraveled roads; it was also Photography that allowed
me to experience nature and life in such a special way that I would
never have experienced otherwise. To me, Photography offers a special
lens for me to see true colors in nature and in life, which is precisely why I no longer view Photography as a pure art form or a pure technique -- it helps me shape the way I live!
Michelle
came home briefly for the winter break and will fly back to Boston
tomorrow for the new semester. Over the past 17+ years, I have told you
so many stories about my little Michelle, and now I have to say that
she is really growing up!! I remember for the past many years, right
before each New Year, I would always write Michelle an email with a list
of things I hope she could do or improve in the next year. I didn't do
it today, as I really, truly believe that she doesn't need it
anymore...
