[ 27 ]

Today’s reflection is about the effects of uncertainty, change, adventure, and amongst all that, still being in control.

In March 1997, I turned 27, and it wasn’t an easy time for me. Even though I was employed in a good job in my beloved home city of Calgary, I was restless and unsettled. It was a pivotal year, and it turned out alright.

Full credit to my wise mother for putting me back in control. By August I’d found a pipeline engineering job in Australia, and in October moved to Brisbane without knowing a soul here.

Call it controlled adventure.
