Things just keep getting better

Still riding a wave of positivity, the weekend has been a blast. I was out on Saturday riding in the forest catching some sun and just enjoying the moment. The freedom of the forest is such a peaceful place for me, whether I’m off on a power hack trying to kill myself or just taking in the surroundings…its definitely a great retreat for thought and reflection.

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve become more interested in photography. Looking for a new creative outlet that would challenge me both mentally and creatively I’ve basically fallen in love with it. I’m still way off the mark technically but I’m seeing improvements each time. Photography is one of those all encompassing passions that you can never learn enough about. I’ve only really been seriously into this for about two weeks now and I’m already annoying people with the camera and talking to myself about exposures and shutter speeds…so much fun.

…and to top off a fantastic weekend, I’ve been in contact with my new Sensei, and I’m scheduled to start Aikido in a weeks time. I am so excited about this. I’ve been wanting to get back into martial arts for a very long time now, but I’ve been very hesitant due to the back not being up to the job. If I did injure it again and went through all the same hassle and immobility, I think I’d go stir crazy.

Well, the back is getting stronger and the weight is coming off, so I’ve made the call and put myself down to start. Its very fortunate that my Sensie will be an old friend of the family, an old colleague of my dads.

I can’t wait, positive thought is the way, forward motion always…enjoying more and worrying less…

Its just a ride…
