Happy People , Happy Planet ………………….
Leave the confines of your every day life , step out of your comfort zone and every now and again life will throw a bizarre experience right in your face ……
Smile the day goes quicker
On Friday I set out on what I thought would be a weekend of fun , frolics and foreign climes , in part it was but the ethereal force that is life twisted it into a maelström of madness that I was eventually spat out of late Sunday night at London’s White Chapel Accident and Emergency ward after a tour of several A+E’s and my fifth shoulder dislocation of the day .. previous to this I had been treated to lost passports, lost fortunes, rubber suited nurses , drunken debauchery and train journeys to nowhere, there was even a point where I was told by a Doctor that I may never kayak again , … it was a weekend to remember on many different levels .. a weekend of extremes , so much went wrong , yet so much of it was so right .. it was a journey of Bliss and Insanity,it was the pleasure and pain sexual experience in holiday format !! .. I loved it and I hated it , yet there can be no denying that it made me feel so very alive !!
The surrealism of it doesn’t escape me , especially as right now I’m sitting in the most serenely beautiful little cafe’ in London fields attempting to detoxify my body with fresh Apple juice and avocado risotto , still trying to take in my most bizarre of weekends , how could it all have end up so far from where it was meant to have gone , yet despite everything it turned out fantastically well …. There is no doubt it is a weekend I will remember forever and this I think is the lesson learnt , no way can we be disheartened if things do not go the way we plan it , experiences come in all shapes and sizes , some pleasurable , some painful , all are part of who we are , who we will become .. a little piece of everything we experience builds the mould that continues to create us.
So life again reinforces my appreciation that we should never give up , never be disheartened by failure and never ever doubt our own abilities to keep moving through life happy and positive , enjoying its every twist and turn … take what you want from this post , it’s just a little piece of my mind chattering but it’s not pointless , if you didn’t do well at your last run , race or challenge , don’t despair at a DNF or a bad time …. think of the fun you had , the people you met and the fact that you were there among the electricity of the crowds …… it’s all good , it’s all so very good ….
