Yes for sure you have to keep on moving. I'm also sure that's what my dad would've wanted. @astk: Sorry to hear that. Yes for sure you have to keep on moving.

Regret to hear that you had the same. Anyway, just keep moving on. Happy new year too. I did the same mistake like your dad case in 2009. Regret to hear that you had the same.

Hopefully you will move into closer alignment with your true goals during 2011 and find the time to just be, as well.

Thanks for posting your post-mortem. I hope that 2011 is much better for you. @Brian: Hi Brian, nice to hear from you. You certainly did good with Faerie Solitaire. What are you working on next? Whatever it is, I wish you success with it, and thanks for the offer of help. @Htbaa: Sounds exiting! Well I hope that everything pans out well for you and your family in 2011 and you won't feel trapped anymore. @Kyle: Ha, that's a pretty interesting goal. You just reminded me to go and check Steam offers :-) If you go through with your goal, you'll never be able to buy any of MY games in 2011 ;-) I hope 2011 goes great for you and your family. @Celso: Absolutely certain things in life are priceless, like being able to go outside and enjoy the sunshine when you want to, and I’m trying to get more of those things.

Think I'll go do the same. Although I still need to keep quiet some of my 2011 goals :-). I guess I'm more or less in the same situation of feeling trapped and need to do something about it. Which I will, but have yet to wait to do that for at least 5 months. 2010 Wasn't a very good year for me. So I hope 2011 will be at least a bit better.

And I agree on what you says. Actually the main reason why I went indie is so that I can stay with my family/loved ones more time than if I had a normal office job. I might make less money but certain things in life like love, freedom, etc have no value. BEst of luck with 2011. I made a sort of postmortem of my 2010 in this blog post: http://www.winterwolves.net/blog/2010/12/friday-catblogging-merry-christmas/ and next friday will speak about 2011 goals :) Is really sad what happened with your father.
