(Half) first anniversary

Today, if I'm not mistaken, I mark six months in this exciting chapter of my life. 184 days. A month of this was spent in the East, and the rest in the West.
Are these the first few months out of a greater and longer expedition? Or, am I already feeling the cold winds of change blowing? I cannot say. All I know, is that if it were up to me, it would never end.

I am learning and changing everyday, in some ways, I hope, for the better. Although I have not traveled yet far and wide, I feel more comfortable with the idea and can begin to explore the options.
Some things have not changed, and that's unfortunate, but perhaps they also serve to grant perspective, or even depth of some sort.

Next month I will be visiting "home", a place I couldn't be far enough away from on many issues, while can never really be torn apart from either.

My focus is still work and the insatiable project that has no chance in hell to be on time or according to my quality standards, and I can't imagine my life without it. But occasionally, I try to take a quick peek sideways, to see how normal people live. It's not all bad.
