another year passed

so, this post is really about 2 weeks old, but i thought i'd write it anyway.

I found myself thinking about the last couple of years that passed by, and it struck me like a blow to the head: this year has been fantastic!

The last year included:
  • working for metamatrix // interfolio
  • working with sitecore cms (which you all by now know i love)
  • went to tech ed in barcelona
  • living in stockholm
  • drinking beer
  • playing music
  • stopped smoking
  • started going to the gym (if you knew me a year ago you'd be laughing right about now)
  • bought an apartment
  • bought a car
  • started this blog
  • found what i was hoping i'd find in a company that develop top-of-the-line solutions

Now, for those of you that don't know me personally, let's just compare this year to some previous:

1 year ago i was..

  • living in stockholm
  • working for morningstar
  • drinking beer
  • smoking cigarettes
  • playing music

2 years ago i was..

  • living in london
  • working for morningstar
  • drinking beer
  • smoking cigarettes
  • playing music

3 years ago i was..

  • living in london
  • working for morningstar
  • drinking beer
  • smoking cigarettes
  • playing music

4 years ago i was..

  • living in stockholm
  • working for morningstar
  • drinking beer
  • smoking cigarettes
  • playing music

see a repetative pattern evolving here? well, for the first time that pattern is gone, completely (ok, so not -really- completely, i still like my beers, stockholm and my music).

morningstar was great working for, don't get me wrong, and london was a fantastic city to live in. the friends i have there i'll keep for life, without doubt. the thing that separates those years from today is that today i'm loving it. 100% loving it.

and yeah, it's true: i'm going to the gym these days and yeah, it's true: i've stopped smoking (so far anyway)

time sure flies..

i'm -so- looking forward to another great year!

P.

Hej Peter! Träffade din syster i Stockholm och har pratat lite med din bror, och jag inser att det de säger: att du mår så himla bra nu, måste vara sant. Det gör mig så otroligt glad, även om det inte alls rimmar med den Peter jag kände. Jag vet inte riktigt hur jag snubblade in här... Hur som helst så önskar jag dig all lycka, och jag hoppas vi stöter på varann snart. Piteå i jul? Saknar ditt spjuveraktiga leende. Kram/ Jenny L
