Passion: What did you become/continue to be sincerely passionate about in 2011? When you are in the moment doing something you love what does look or feel like?
I have always loved books and reading. It started when I was a baby and my dad read to me. I must have read tens of thousands of books during my lifetime, but then a couple of years back I stopped reading as much as I used to and only rediscovered my book mania again in 2010 and am happy that I have carried it over into 2011.
There is nothing better than being completely drawn into a wonderfully written book and having the story become alive in your imagination. The feeling of leaving your life behind and escaping to another place whether it is the Discworld or an embarrassingly girly Marianne Keyes Irish New York setting, is probably the closest we will ever get to time travelling. I can read for hours on end and and with my Kindle I am never without something to read. I have this completely unrealistic desire to read almost everything that has ever been written and am in the habit of buying books faster than I can read them.
For 2012 I would like to focus on my 101 Books to Read before you Die list and try to buy fewer books until I have read the ones I already have.
