Reflecting on a year in top gear

The thrill of racing at top gear often landed me with a bundle of speeding fines. Its been a journey worth travelling but that didnt stop me from being forced 2 slam on the brakes 1 too many times!

Im at a complete halt at the moment...well sorta ...im preparing 2 take a much needed pit stop. This after travellin a a last climb populated with potholes. In the past month I experienced a combination of home, work and social drama.im just grateful 2 have survived this rough ride; bruises & all.

often when ur in overdrive u simply react 2 the pace set by other road users. And so I had ,earlier in the yr, thought it appropriate 2 learn 4rm the mor insightful indivs. on the road. I observd myself being more n more of a lemming.driven off course 2 often. My route probably needs 2 b changed.

Changn routes can be difficult wen uv gt people traveln with u. I met some unreal people . People that made n effort 2 get 2 know me & still acceptd me. Its in 1 of those incidnts that I was testd...i couldnt reciprocate the reaction as hard as I tried. I gues I wil have 2 travel with others!

I've had some detours.i acquired a navigator in d frm of my sister. After 18 mnths in Italy her sense of direction was,however, being influenced by the north pole...always lookin south. This testd my patience. Shes taken a bit o tym bt has alignd herself globally by nw.

It has bn a drive like many others. Wen ppl gt ill I was reminded 2 stick 2 the slow lane. Nothin is mor important in my life than me but my life is unappreciatd widout others. wen friends and family found themselvs on gravel rds or ended rds I had 2 concede 2 spend less tym racing 2 milestones in my journey & mor tym enjoying the way.
