Happy Halloween everyone!
I needed to get that out of the way I guess! I hope you've all had a cracking weekend of ghoul's and ghosts and what not! There was no dressing up for me this year, which btw, doesn't mean I went out trick or treating naked. Jesus, would you really want to put people through that? haha!
Still a good weekend all round! I randomly went to the dog races, which is something I've never done before! It was a randomly cool night, however with the overly complicated complication of trying to figure out the odds and what dog to place my hard earned on! Seriously, I'm sure horses ain't that complicated! Although, boy oh boy, them bloody things we're fast! I can see why they're called Grey hounds! I don't think even colour could keep up!
So what's going on, what's changed? Not an awfull lot unfortunately. However I am nearing the completion of my 3rd and final stint of shoulder injury recovery! It's not going to be far off being normal again soon! I wish I could explain to you the frustration of spending the best part of nearly 3 years of your life in a constant state of recovery! And recently it's been bloody killing! The ups and downs are unbelievable!
Don't get me wrong, I think, or I'd like to think that I've done my best to make most of the time during this, but bloody hell. I've joked so much about it but being able to scratch the back of your head with either hand without feeling a slight twinge of pain or feeling uncomfortable (that excludes you girls with long nails who scratch yourselves accidentally!) is bloody underrated! But hey, I hope most of you are lucky and fortunate enough to not have to endure this!
It's another year almost gone though! Where does the time go?! I never expected 2010 to be epic but it has slightly disappointed. I don't think I really honestly made the most of it this year, this is though in fairness, partly because I wasn't expecting to have my operation so soon nor did I expect it would take this long to recover! I am gutted I missed my friends Engagement because of it!
It has been another learning curve though! The one constant this year has been my job for a change! Which has been great. I continue to try work hard and I'm seeing the opportunities to learn are coming thick and fast, which is what we need to really progress and push forward with our careers I guess! In that respect, I cannot complain for a second!
This is also true in life outside of work I guess!
I say and hear the saying 'you learn something new every day' but I very rarely stop to think, what would life be if we didn't learn something new every day? Or at least every other if you sleep for most of the day after a hangover? haha
To me that's life, a continual progression, a learning process, with each day that passes you should take something, however little, from it that helps you to enjoy the next and every other day that your blessed with.
I think perhaps recently I haven't quite been living to my own mantra. Getting too comfortable, I think in life you need to make things happen for yourself. Be willing to learn, but also be willing to take risks.
I know risk is gambling effectively, but hell, where would we be if we didn't try? To not try is to give up before you even started! All I need to do is perhaps be abit more daring and believe in myself a little bit more?
It's always easier said than done, I'm pretty sure alot of you will feel the same but I'll do my best to lead by example!
I am looking forward to a great Christmas Period, hopefully a decent time to catch up with friends and family, take stock, have a good time and look forward to a positive 2011!
Another year,another chance to finally get a grip on this thing we call life and everything it has to offer!
All the best and as ever, I hope you enjoyed the read!
