Last Wednesday I had a near death experience.

Nearer than any of the brushes with Grim that I have had in the past, and far too close for my liking.

I won’t go into massive detail but lets just say that being able to swallow and breathe are two things that I now appreciate a hell of a lot more than I did before.

And all because of an olive.

Anyway I thought I’d post about just how clarifying an experience it has been for me.
Recently I have been caught up a lot in stuff that really, if I’m honest with myself, aren’t things I should be allowing myself to get distracted by.
These things have got in the way of me giving my full attention to my family, my friends  and those things that make me happy.

The events of last week brought life into clear focus and has reminded me that I am able to focus on my life and choose what I give my attention to, which is something that I sometimes forget due to my blessed chemical imbalances and general faulty noggin’.

So as of last week I’m focused. This I like and this I will maintain, or at least give it a damn fine goal.

So to finish……

A massive thank you to the NHS and Ambulance Service – you guys ROCK and do an amazing job despite the shit support the government give you.

An even bigger thank you to my friends and family for caring and most of all to Su, you are my everything and your love keeps me going even when the shit is breaking the fan blades – you rock most of all.

Thoughts of the missing blogger

Now it has been a while since I posted, I would apologise but life is for living and sometimes life takes place away from a keyboard. If  you are a regular visitor, then thank you, I will endeavor to be more present in the immediate future.

So what are my thoughts, you may ask?

I’m wondering why the western world is insisting on insinuating that the Pakistan government had knowledge of Bin Laden hiding within it’s borders for so long, when these very countries have career criminals living within their borders that escape detection, hundreds of unaccounted for illegal immigrants within their borders and even potential terrorists lurking in their midst. Only when these things cannot be said about a country can they cast such aspersions onto another.

There that is the only time I’m going to type the lunatics name.

In other news, the attempt to distract the populace of Great Britain from the Governments mismanagement and the financial mess by having a Royal Wedding appears to have worked for a day (max.) . There is no doubt that this great country does “pomp” better than any other in the world but to me it all makes me a little suspicious.
That said, I do wish the happy couple all the best and wish them a long and happy marriage.

And lastly I’d like to mention a topic close to my heart, Mental Health.
I know what it is to live with less than perfect mental health, though there are many that are worse off than I am (and for that I am thankful), and I also know of the work performed by the NHS despite less than ideal funding and a less than helpful government and social influence.
In all the cuts and money saving that is going on in the country today we should strive not to let the recent progress in the field of Mental Health care be undone by those in charge of the finances.

And if you yourself, like me, often find yourself hard to live with I have a short but useful piece of advice:

Be kind to yourself.

May the Gods be kind to you.

Rock on
