The last 2 years have been hell !! I’ve had way too many distractions, disappointments and downers in that time.
My wife, who has bipolar disorder, became manic at the beginning of 2008. She then decided to have an online affair and then left me. I haven’t seen her in two years.
My two dogs, who were both very old, died one year apart from each other. They were like my kids and I miss them both very much.
I’ve also lost two longtime friends in a fire, a family friend in a sporting accident, and a beloved cousin, who died in her sleep. I’ve been to too many funerals in the past year.
Really the only thing that has been positive in the past two years (apart from my family) is that I’ve managed to increase my earnings online. Partly through hard work (I’ve created a couple of new sites in that time), but mostly from just tweaking some of my original sites.
For most of the time though I’ve just been too down and depressed to care that much about things. I have a large “micro-niche” site that I’ve started to develop but, for the most part, I’ve been avoiding it because it’s just such a heck of a lot of work. The last site I did of a similar size basically burned me out for the next couple of months. I’d love to be able to outsource, but these sites are so specialized that it would be difficult to do properly.
Hopefully I’ve turned a corner though. I have several new website ideas that I’m excited about, and I’m starting to implement things through the Shoemoney System that I probably wouldn’t have thought of doing before. It’s not where I want things to be just yet (obviously) but it’s encouraging.
I’ve also started this online journal to help document my travels over the course of the next 12 months. The year has already started off in an interesting and informative way and I hope it continues to do so.
So here’s to a productive and successful 2010!!
