Life
I had the best summer in more than 10 years. From April till August I was doing something outdoorsy every single weekend. Really rewarding for my nature.
Tw0 weeks long skiing holidays in Zillertal, by far the longest winter skiing holidays in my life.
Went, together with my wife, (and showed daughter) on our steps 13 years ago in Pelion, Greece.
Visited Danube Delta in May, what a miracle of nature!
We managed to renovate (and “bring” to this century) my grandmother house.
I started to run marathons (trail running): EcoMarathon Cross (14.2 km) – 1:41:34; Tusnad Half-marathon (23.2 km) – 2:31:42; Apuseni Marathon (39.5 km) – 5:17:32; Ciucas Trail Running (42.2) km – 5:50:53; Piatra Craiului Marathon (41 KM) – 6:13:50. I managed to get back to my weight in my twenties. Meanwhile I also started to eat healthier.
I also lost my mother’s sister which was a tough moment to live and had an impact bigger than I thought. Except my grandmother, who turned 90, I sadly have none of the “adults” from my childhood.
I met with people I have not seen long time: school mates, professionals from my early career, just great!
Spent end of the year in the slowest possible mode since I left home as teenager. Not bad actually.
Delicious moments of 2011
Skiing behind my daughter on all kinds of slopes.
Coaching my daughter to dive in apnea down to 2 meters depth in a pool and collect stones from the bottom in complete safety.
Swimming together with my daughter to see schools of thousands Mediterranean fish in a Pelion gulf (GR) or swimming through water snakes and jelly-fish at Tyulenovo (BG).
My year 2011 learning
I am more of a pack wolf than a lone wolf! I can live alone but is better in pack. I only need my moments from time to time.
Work
Few more clients added. Domain expanded on medical services side as well as on property management. I had repeat business with my 2010 ones which is rewarding both financially and morally. Projects were more complex and rewarding and some were totally new.
In November I just discover my new horn to blow, you’ll hear more of its sound in 2012.
Continued the partnership with Raluca Mohanu (Steps4Change), started in 2010, in delivering training and organizing some thematic events.
Continued to edit the bulletin for medical representatives I started to produce in 2009 but closed it this month (unless someone else offers to take it over and continue the journey).
I also decided to have someone help me have more time with clients and use my time on complex, high quality endeavors.
Whatsoever, I think there was way too much left to be accomplished in 2012.
