Paul was keen to get away from work as Wednesday night was band practice, and he needed to be there by seven. It was going to be difficult because August was always a manic month.

He enjoyed his work and was comfortable being defined by his role role, as a Partner of one of the world’s largest accounting firms, however he was thoroughly enjoying getting back into his music, something he had not really done since his high school days in Southampton.

Welcome 2014 – Happy New Year!

I loved so many posts, but these two stood out

Teaching an old dog new tricks

– Reflections of a fellow traveller

Empty Garden the Tragic Death of John Lennon in Song

– Capturing a memorable moment in my life.

I worked on my Facebook Fan Page – maybe someone else will find it in 2014!

Found a fantastic prompt for posts 365 Writing Prompts. Wonder how many I will use this year?

So what’s in store for 2014?

Quite likely my last full year of working in Professional Services. I’m definitely up for the challenge!
Starting Honours in Finance, hopefully the first step to a future career in Academia.
More articles for The Adelaide Review.
Perhaps some success for my sporting teams – The Crows, Arsenal and Sturt.
Springsteen’s first visit to Adelaide – I never thought would happen!

I’m so looking forward to 2014.

Happy New Year!

That feeling was not a product of the narrow loss but my continued reflection on my firm’s transition to retirement seminar, “Pinnacle”or as I refer to it, “God’s Waiting Room”, which we had attended a couple of weeks before.

I had also just finished reading, Herminia Ibarra’s “Working Identities” Continue reading
