I have been on many, many journeys. Some journeys are actual. Business trips, holidays and adventures. Some are emotional. Shared journeys with people who touch my life. Some are cerebral; learning new trades, new skills, gaining qualifications. And some are purely physical. Playing netball, jogging, kettlebell training, balancing on a fitball or running through freezing, muddy rivers....... All are my journeys and the path is life. I hope that the "19th hole" is wisdom......
I therefore could be described (by those desperate to put me in a box) as a serial traveller and a serial "box ticker" (rather than the aforementioned box-dweller which, I 'm afraid, I pompously consider myself too complex to be!). I always ask "what next"; I always look forwards. I'm an incurable optimist.
This, if one is a logical thinker, means that you rarely look back. This is a good thing because it's easy to leave mistakes behind and move forward! The price (and what good thing doesn't have one?) is that being so busy planning means that one can forget to look around and see the "now". This is what this blog is about - trying to capture and savour the moment. Learning to enjoy the journey.........
The particular journey that I'm describing is the one from "absolutely definitely not, no way, no how, not ever" to "yee haa, BRING IT ON", and the subject is running a marathon!
So if you want to learn about this, my latest journey, in "real time", and share some of the actual moments of it in a light hearted way, feel free to watch this space. Or "follow me" as the technical terminology goes.... I don't like that phrase - it makes me sound like I think that I'm Jesus or something..... and I don't.... he had a beard! :-)
