Well this has been quite a crazy year for me. I had serious health problems a year ago, I had to leave my job in november, a job that I loved and where I had been for 5 years. I don't want to get into all the details but this winter has been pretty grim for me...
But lately, only good things seem to come my way (I had to work hard to make them happen tough...)

First I got my first ribbon here a few weeks ago, I had two interviews this week for a company I really wanted to work for and I got a confirmation this morning that I was hired, I'm starting monday. The pay is good, the conditions are great, the team seems like a great group to work with, my new boss seems to be a hell of a nice guy.

Also, a few weeks ago, I applied for a company that does photography for little sports leagues (hockey, baseball, soccer, gymnastics...) I sent my curriculum vitae (with no professional experience in photography) and a few pictures I had done this winter with little hope. The director of photography sent me an e-mail yesterday, he wants to meet me for an interview!!! All or nothing...

So after a really hard winter, being kinda broke, struggling to get my health back, many moments fearing that things would never be as good as before... Things are finally looking good now.

So if anyone out there is having a rough time, don't give-up. It doesn't matter how bad your situation is, there is a reward beyond all of life's obstacles. I wish as much happiness and confidence to come to everyone that might be experiencing the sort of difficulties that I have finally overcome.

Glad to hear everything is coming around for you. And congrats on the job opportunities, I've only had one job I enjoyed and it was the part-time one that got pushed out of the way by my full time one. Maybe someday I'll experience that again.

On a side note...was looking at your pictures..very nice, you should maybe re-do your stress one for the current decision challenge. Thats a good one.

Again, glad to hear everything is going good.

God bless

Don't the good times seem even better if you've been through a bad patch!

Best of luck with the new job and sports photography.

:D
