Been a bit longer than anticipated in writing on this blog, but as is the way, life can intervene with everything. Things happening within the family have taken precedence (and quite rightly so) but circumstances have also given me some food for thought. I guess as I’ve said before, sometimes we try to just get on with things in life (good and bad), but then some things happen and it can make you reflect on the past and in some cases ruminate about what is ahead of us.
Ruminating is not a good thing to do to be honest (well in my opinion anyway!!) – we have little control over the future and although we can plan and prepare down to the smallest details, nothing can prepare for those interventions, twists of fate, call it what you will. I try not to think too much about what the future may hold – whether that is fear of the unknown or just trying to concentrate on living in the here and now – I don’t know. To be honest I think it can be a mixture of both. Due to these current family interventions it has also meant not attending the gym as often (but again that’s the way it should be, family priorities). I went from the first week not attending at all to the second week I was there every night (believe it or not really enjoyed it), to last week not at all. I am hoping to get back into things starting tomorrow but as with everything at the moment taking it day by day.
It also goes to show how easy things can slip , exercise, healthy eating!! There are those that are very strict with themselves and can keep the plates all spinning…..I unfortunately am not one of those people – and for me eventually one of those plates will come crashing to the ground. But what do I do – get another plate (bit of analogy there!!!) and start it all again.
