Fab @ nearly Fifty

Well 11/11 is my Birthday and I have had so many people say “What your never … that age” Must be like a good old wine ok not the old. Matures well, or is it the fresh air, or just believing in yourself you can do things in life?

I had an amazing birthday this year…. Thank to friends, and my special person in my life. All of them made my day, You see parkrun is not really about the running its about the friends you make and of course the coffee afterwards. I guess when you get to a certain point in life, why rush to the end of your journey when you can take in the scenery and have a laugh or too Too.

I like to cut down the Stress in my life, it’s costing me toooooo much, not the dollars but it’s shaving years of my life.

Last year, May 2022 I was wiped out by a car as i was crossing the road on my run, nope wasn’t running, or listening to music or in a rush…. as i went through the air after smashing the windscreen i landed on a heap on the ground, i was in and out of consciousness, i know there was a lot of my red claret on the road wherever i was. I do remember saying i put a plaster on the cut on the eye….. But i don’t really remember much…. Since then life has been a headache, yep there isn’t a day goes by that i don’t have a headache and constant level of pain is 4/5 out of 10 constant. Much more things like my short term memory is stuffed, fatigue, screen time is limited to 10 - 20 mins so i better hurry up typing this… speech get slurred not from alcohol eyes not focusing, and my left side is still weak so try running again and i have good moments and then lets not get out of bed moments….

When i look in the mirror, i think wow who is that person? I have changed and love the person who i have come to be. Its taken a few years to work it out and be me, but hey its me.

I admire people who have ambitions in life, take a gamble, a leap into something and since the heart operation realize “doing something is better than nothing”

SO my conclusion is “Just get the Hell Out There Now and do something, cus it’s sure better than doing note……. and you never know in life what may happen”
