sometime over the next 3-5 years i think i'm going to change gears in life ... i'll take on a less intense job, perhaps part-time, and appreciate things like the clouds a lot more frequently. i'll wander along beaches, picking up bottle-caps that have drifted across on the pacific ocean from new caledonia. i'll get to cook more often & more dishes, and paint with vivid colours. i'll learn to play piano and/or the saxophone, and do some fishing from time to time. i'll sketch portraits & caricatures with charcoal, and grow cherry tomatoes and papaya. i won't evaluate most things and will be more mindful & aware. although these events won't advance my career or be considered sound from an economic perspective, they will benefit our family

please - remind me to do such things in due course, in case i lose sight of these goals ;-D
