Highs, lows, ups, downs.
Exciting business trips to Singapore, Shanghai, Bangkok, Hamburg, Manchester, Korea… and then being let go due to downsizing.
Losing loved ones; seeing my daughters grow and blossom and become the most unexpected things of all: individual adults with a glow all their own.
Reconnecting with friends. Quarreling with family.
Sleepless nights pondering the future, followed by the joy of sitting down to breakfasts and dinners with my family for the first time in eight years.

Seeing my wife being so happy to see me at home … and then gently asking if I should spend some time at the outplacement office because, let's face it, I'm not a picnic to be around for 24 hours every day.
A good year, a bad year, an amazing year..
But we're still here. We're still fighting. Remembering what's important. Still making our presence felt to loved ones and friends.
Merry Christmas to you all. My hopes for a fantastic 2012.
