Yesterday Two new Souls entered my world and I’m bubbling with joy for the parents. I’m an odd egg so maybe this will bring some balance back into my life.
Dates in my life cross and weave around each other like wild salmon trying to swim upstream.
9th August and 16th Auguste
For the last 8 years, I’ve spent Christmas Day outside the UK. And for very good reason, it’s cold, expensive, super commercial and there has been very little personal reasons to be there on the day.
Of course, this year that all changed and I find myself considering a contemporary Family London Christmas dinner. If I do it very well I can have the best of both words, City celebrations in London and Beach time in Florida.
Amazing what you actually do for Love but it’s keeping me buzzing and feeling great every day.
Today 30 mins cardio, no meds today, no aches, pains or infections
Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart) The Stylistics original in 1971 is up there amongst my most favourite ballads. A colleague taught me about the Ladder of Accountability and it dawned on me how many areas of my life have seen me scale and slide down that very Ladder multiple times.
For the longest time, I languished on Level 4 believing I was actually doing something when in reality I was wasting time and taking the blame. Right now, I’m probably on Level 6.5 and happy to have documented enough stuff to realise truly what the reality is.
Responsible and Proactive Level 8 - I Make it Happen level 7 - I seek Solutions Level 6 - I Own it Level 5 - I acknowledge reality
Victim mentality - Reactive Level 4 - I wait and Hope Level 3 - I make Excuses Level 2 - I blame and Complain Level 1 - I'm unaware or in denial

Does it ever puzzle you
Have you asked why?”

Yes, I’ve been a miserable bastard lately and for no good reason. It feels like friends and family are always nagging me and on my case but the reality is really different. My failings are magnified and echo to me 24/7 causing a happy/sad loop. Happy that someone cares, Sad that they are dependent on me.
For the most part, the pressure is financial but actually closer linked to responsibility, dependency and duty.
So, if I’ve hurt you over the past few weeks, I’m sorry.
This has to be the male menopause in full effect.
Just got back from a brilliant Road Trip to some active volcanoes off the coast of Morocco. This was absolutely the best fun, the biggest challenge as a sole traveller was grouping up and going with the flow.
Somehow, it all worked out fine as we partied and basked in the Sun for days enjoying free flowing Pino CoLager.
For the entire trip, I enjoyed zero access to my digital life.
Hmmm what am I grateful for?

Why Computers games work so well
