Sometimes, if you’re not willing to give something a go? It’ll turn out to be the something you regret later on in life; I guess that is my thought for the day :)

Confused but light hearted

My mind is in a bit of a state at the moment, I won’t talk in detail about the why’s and the where-fores just that this week has ended no less interesting than it started, and I have had my fair share of ‘events’ that have shaped my mood, and mental state to date.

There is a part of me that says, “hey! all of this happens for a reason…”, I know which direction I want to walk in, I just don’t want to do it in a way that loses a precious thing from my life. There’s so much richness in my life right now, and none of it is monetary in nature. I count myself to be lucky in my life’s choices, and recently I have taken a couple of risks. The latest risk I have taken is what has my head in such a state and a confused mess! Why can’t relationships be simple and easy?

Paralysed…

It’s been a hard couple of days since the weekend. Work has been ‘interesting’ and today was no exception, based on certain issues affecting the network, we had a meeting to discuss what could have caused such odd symptoms, and well I was asked to walk through the way events occured and just couldn’t seem to make the words come out of my mouth, I completley locked up; the more I tried to speak the less sense I was making. It’s possibly the most embarresing moment to date. I just wanted the ground to swallow me – here I was in a room full of professionals and I just couldn’t communicate at all!

It’s almost like my brain decided it was time to shut down – I’ve never been so flustered in my life, and it really scared me. Sigh. Hopefully it’s just a one off.

Reflective Motion…

It’s been a while since my last post. So I figured it was about time I put something down. I’m sure you are all feeling extremley neglected by now? Lots of things have been happening in my life recently, and it’s difficult to get a real perspective on it all. I’m currently training like mad not only for a 100km walk, but also for a Marathon (my first too). So far I am getting to grips with running 12km every other day, and have managed to work it down to just under an hour and a half. I really need to get this to be a lot quicker to meet my target of about 3.5 hours for the marathon! It’s certainly obtainable and I have 86 days to get my fitness levels up sufficiently to cope with it.

I’ve decided to live life to the fullest, which basically means I am enjoying myself, having fun with friends, going out on the town every chance I can get, and basically be the stereotypical single bachelor!! Although I have to admit there are one or two very special ladies in my life at the moment, who knows what the future holds eh?

It’s only really now that I truly realise the value of friendship and the fact that it is a far richer life because of it, money counts for nothing when you have a good and strong circle of firends :)
