New Year’s Tradition – Favorite Photos of 2012

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

An annual tradition around here is to put together a Flickr Set of my favorite photos from the past year. 2012 was a busy, busy year and brought about some very unexpected changes for me professionally, ones that caused our lives to be much different than we expected too! Your personal life can’t help but be impacted when you start traveling as part of your job. 😉

So, for the year 2012, here are my favorites pics. Click the play button to view as a slideshow, or simply browse through all 42 of them at your own speed. You can also view them on Flickr if you don’t have Flash available.

As I look forward to 2013, I realize that for all the traveling I do, I rarely bring anything more than my iPhone for taking photos, and rarely even pull that out. I need to change that. I should be trying to take advantage of being in different places and try to create more photo memories of those trips. Granted, it can be hard to do when you spend all day in front of a group of folks, but I should be thinking more about taking photos while out walking around as opposed to waiting until it’s vacation time and I have my DSLR with me. At least that will be the goal, so perhaps the collection of 2013 will have more iPhone/Instagram photos as I capture what I happen to see!

Thanks for following along here on this little site, whether you’ve been here for years, or just discovered it in 2012. I hope 2013 is going to be a great year for you!

    Today is my second wedding anniversary. We aren’t going to be doing anything special today to celebrate, mostly because she’s got a 12 hour workday scheduled, but we will be celebrating in style by relaxing in Tennessee for most of the week! After my first marriage ended in utter failure due to my ongoing battles…

  • Addicted to blogging?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Here’s an interesting look at the possibility that blogging is causing problems for people and taking away from people being able to live their lives offline. I can easily see where that could happen, but I think I suffer from the opposite effect, when I’m not out living my life, I’ve got nothing to blog…

    Priorities

    This weekend is my wife and my’s sixth anniversary. As it approaches I’ve been thinking quite a bit about marriage and priorities. I’ve been thinking about the fact that I feel somewhat out of touch with my wife right now. Part of that is because we’ve both been dealing with a lot of things. Her…

  • The Difference Between Knowledge and Life Experience

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    You should not feel sorry for me. This post isn’t about me. As I said, I have a condition that millions of people deal with every day. I’ll do the same. It’s about the reality that people around us are living with things that require efforts that we don’t understand. Just showing up for life every day requires effort and dedication from everyone you know. The amount of effort and challenges are different, and they are not distributed equally. You shouldn’t dismiss anyone’s struggles, especially if you’ve not been in those same circumstances yourself. 

    Some things have to be experienced to see all the details. When someone is willing to share the details of their challenges, listen and learn. Raise their voices instead of assuming you know the answers. 

    Experience is a hard teacher. We all can learn the lessons from those who’ve lived it. 

  • Lovely weekend

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Yes it was a lovely, and exhausting, weekend! 🙂 First off was my appointment with my massage therapist Friday evening. Now, since I work with computers, and spend a lot of my free time working with computers, I have certain issues with my neck and shoulders that have, on occasion, led to problems with migraines….
