Back Again

It's been so long since I posted. I forgot the site address..isn't that bad of me! So much has been going on that days have rolled into nights..some of them sleepless ones at that! My best news is that I have been given the all clear from Cancer, which is great and a godsend. It turned out I had a very bad infection in the membrane of the mouth, which was causing the same kind of symptoms, but I am on a 3 month course of medication and it should clear up. Howeve,r they just had to throw something at me..and they tested me for diabetes, which I will hear about in November.

Since my holiday I have been busy socially and professionally. I joined a company as a Director on the Board, to take over a Local Authorities Housing Department and that has kept me busy. I have been undertaking more studying to do with clinical hypnosis and psychotherapy and have been making plans to start an international clinic, offering hypnotherapy, life therapy, spiritual insight and guidence to private clients in the UK and USA. Living in the modern world, I needed a website, which I have developed and setting up the biz takes time and resources. I have started going out on the dating scene too. I thought it was about time to put the past behind me and see what it's like dating in 2004! I have had offers from attached people, which I find quite strange! However, I am enjoying going out meeting people much more and getting my confidence back to actually approach women! I also got into contact with my dad, who I haven't spoken to for about 4 years after a silly disagreement. It turned out he had a cancer scare at the same time so that gave us common ground. We are now communicating regularly and back to the old way we were.

I had a good going over heart and lungs wise at the start of October and thankfully there's no change there. Everything is as it should be. The back continues to get worse and as the cold weather sets in here in England thats when I will really suffer. In short I am having a good life, coping with all that is thrown at me and hope the future remains bright. I'd like to thank everyone that emailed me to ask where had I gone..what happened to my blog! It's nice to know people actually read them and find them interesting.

Also to those people that asked me what happened to the dating site idea for people with health problems, I haven't forgotten!..honest!! It's in progress and I will let you know individually when its done. Hope you will be the first to use it! I'll be on there so don't forget to look at my profile! He he!!

I heard a funny story the other day sitting next to a couple of ladies in a bar. They were about twenty something and one was talking about her boyfriend and the other talking about the loss of her mother last year in a car accident. The one with the boyfriend was fed up with her boyfriend because he spends so much time with her, buys her 'stupid' gifts and is just too nice! The other was angry that her mother was taken from her and how hard she is finding it and started going on about if there was a god he wouldn't have allowed it to happen. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten involved but I offered them a drink and said I could'nt help overhearing their conversation and would they mind if I made a point. Which they allowed me to do. My point to them was this.

" I'm sorry for your loss (to the girl who lost her mother) however the world is not perfect and you must have some faith, to have recognized god as the person to blame. God gave us all something called free will. The person that went into you mother's car while drunk, chose to drink and chose to drive, he used his free will, god never made him do it, he chose to do it. We all have free will and... (turning to the other girl) you too have free will. If you're not happy with your boyfriend, you can choose to find another." With that I said think about it, and left.

They looked at each other and shuffled uncomfortably in their chairs as I was leaving. What amazes me is that we are all to quick to blame other people for the things that go wrong in our life. I am sure that many of you that have a health problem do not blame your neighbour or your sister or your mother or even god for what you go through every day. Some things are just meant to be. It's how we live the life that we have, that determines what kind of life we have. And as someone that has found himself ready to start dating again, I found the other girls' comments about her boyfriend being too nice..a scary thought. Don't we all want to be with someone that is caring and attentive and nice? Or am I so out of touch that 'treat them mean, keep them keen' is the new world order?
