Back in December, I was feeling a little depressed.
I'm already 41, have no Partner, no dependants, don't own a house, no mortgage, I often move with my job, therefore have no real "home base", none of my friends are around, the only large item I own is a motorcycle.
Then I thought, WAIT A MINUTE:
I am ONLY 41, that's not old.
I have no partner or dependants relying on me to provide for them
No Debt, no rent
No "Homebase"
My job takes me to awesome places
I have friends all over the world, who let me visit
And lastly, I do Own a Motorcycle, Melinda
There is no reason to be depressed, these are all positives.
Sure, I don't get a lot of time off from my job.
But I do get the opportunity to learn, travel, study whilst being paid and I am able plan my next trip.
My job that I'm doing now is completely different to anything I have done before.
I'm still adapting, evolving, learning.
Instead of the hustle-bustle of the ICU, I'm learning to be tolerant, to wait for things, to be ready where and when I'm required. This is a Holistic approach to health and the maintenance of health.
It is almost like an experiment and I'm a part of it.
The most positive aspect is that despite the loneliness and isolation I know (hope) that there are people out there who will support me when needed.
Right now, things are looking up.
I've started a course at the open study college, and passed my first assignment.
There hasn't been much snow for nearly 2 weeks, but it's been snowing all day.
Hopefully, I can start learning to snowboard soon.
And I've only to survive until mid-2015, that's not that far away.
Next time I write, I'll pop in some photos of snowy Switzerland.
