It wasn't so bad!

One year has elapsed since I moved back home. It's been an interesting year this. First couple of months I was on holiday mode. Then I went to trying to figure out what I was going to do.

I settled on photography. I had no idea what that would look like. Today, things look great. The business is doing good. Clients are coming in steadily. I am glad neither the chaos at the beginning of 2008 nor the great Belgium debate messed things up.

Yes, Belgium. I did get an offer to join a company in Belgium doing electronics engineering design work. The pay would have been out of this world. Not to mention the chance to tour Europe during my stay there.

My desire to stay in Kenya, however, won out. I am glad it did. Otherwise I'd have missed out on the fun I'm having living life!

Time to execute for the coming year...
