I'm in the early stages of a set of transitions.
First, I get married to a rather wonderful lass in less than a year. The plans progress apace and I think we have as good a hope as anyone of lasting long term, but it's still a major step to take. When we marry, we'll have been together 5 years to the day - I think that's a pretty decent trial run before settling into something more formal.
Second, I'm increasingly weary of working in IT. I've gone as far up the tree as I can without getting into management - and I don't want to get into management. So, I'm working on getting out. For the next 2 years or so, I'm working on my photography skills, with the aim of building them up to a professional level. Exactly what side of photography I'll work on, I'm not 100% sure yet - surprisingly (to me, at least), right now, I feel happier with my work with people than I do my work with landscapes, or still life.
Lastly, I'm trying to get healthy, and make significant changes in my personal habits - I want to get more organised, more motivated, more involved, fitter, thinner, more active. Right now, none of these things are me, but I'm hoping they'll be components of the me that I will become.
Once before I made a set of changes that changed who I was - now, I'm trying to do the same again. It's not easy.
