We&#8217;re going to a mediaeval spectacular event which is held every year. I&#8217;m going to keep a close eye on myself as there will be lots of people there and the children and myself slept in our tent last night so I&#8217;m not as rested as I could be and I&#8217;m not always at my best around people. Quite often I find people a little moronic but that&#8217;s just a personal opinion at times, usually I&#8217;m kind of live and let live it&#8217;s only occasionally \u00a0 I&#8217;m more live and let die.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>My ears are ringing slightly this morning but other than feeling a little edgy I&#8217;m pretty ok and I did a leg workout yesterday which is always good but tiring. I guess my mood could go either way today so it&#8217;s best I keep a close check on it. \u00a0My wife has a key word that she can use if she thinks I&#8217;m bordering on going high. She hasn&#8217;t used it yet but in hindsight has wished she had a few times. Anyway I&#8217;ll keep as focused on being present as I can. We will buy lunch out too which is always nice but stressful with lots of people trying to get into the small restaurant there. Lots of challenges I guess.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I briefly chatted with a friend via text yesterday about mental health and he is seeing someone about some things he has going on. I take my hat off to him because it&#8217;s a good step to take realising that help might be needed. I know it will be ok for him because it&#8217;s just the right time for him. Another friend won&#8217;t talk about mental health issues but that&#8217;s his choice and I&#8217;ve had to cut him loose for a while after a very aggressive message left by him on my voicemail. It&#8217;s never an easy thing to decide about. I had to think do I try to keep helping him or do I help myself first and steer clear. I&#8217;ve decided my health is more important especially for my family. I hope he is ok though.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>I&#8217;m looking forwards to going out shortly and I&#8217;m going to meditate before we go and go with a relaxed mindset.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are off out for a family day today.
