Today we are half way through the year…

Today we are half way through 2009. That’s an amazing -and alarming- fact if, like me, you feel the year has only just begun.

So, how has 2009 been for you so far? How has it treated you? And how have you treated it? Have you made the most of the days you have been given?
Have you achieved all that you wanted to do? Have you left the world a better place than the one you found in January?
And what’s next? What are your plans for the rest of the year? What are your mid-year’s resolutions?

I was ruminating on these questions as I ate my muesli this morning.
I feel as though I’mve had a mixed year. I’mve published a book, nailed an expedition to India and am underway writing my next book. But we’re still struggling with sponsorship for the South Pole and that has loomed heavy over my whole year.
I’mve taken a photograph every day this year and it’s fun to look back on. But it’s up to me to make the next 6 months’ of photographs and experiences better than the last lot.

It’s time for my mid-year revolution.
