Going Home !

Friends,

After leaving Australia in January 1999, Anna and I would like to announce that we are going home !

We simply had no clue that this journey would take us to live and visit so many places. The privilege this has afforded us, is to meet so many great people that have become dear friends and our extended family. From a personal standpoint we have gained much by being away but have also deeply missed Australia and our family.

Along the way we have made some profound life learnings (perhaps these are not so special for you) :

First we have learnt that indeed all our lives are a journey, there are many paths and we alone can determine the route and eventually how happy we are when we arrive.

Second that this happiness is a journey in itself. To this end I read a quote from Crystal Boyd that captures this perfectly:

"There is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a not a destination.
So work like you don't need money.
Love like you've never been hurt, and, Dance like no one's watching...”

Thirdly and finally the journey is just beginning. There is still much more to be seen that can ever be seen and more to do that can ever be done - paraphrased from lyrics from Tim Rice and Elton John.

Will you join me on our next adventure?
