Two weeks ago I was in Glasgow learning to take time out of my busy schedule to just sit, think, chat and smile. I said then that I thought something in me had changed, in fact people around me said similar - I seemed less stressed out, more willing to just see what happened and happy to just be.
On Friday I did one of the hardest things I'll ever have to do in my entire life I'm certain. It wasn't easy, it wasn't smiley but that was counterbalanced completely by yesterday's epic events (more on those another time no doubt). Things are going to get very hard soon enough but that doesn't mean that I have to succumb to being sad all the time.
I guess it was taking time out that made me realise that I have been spending far too long focusing on one element of my life. That has helped me refocus, gather my thoughts and sort my head out. I now spend more time thinking about what I want to, doing what I enjoy and just giving myself the space to understand what is going on around me.
Glasgow was just meant to have been a short break but it came at precisely the right moment and I really do appear to be a different person because of it.
Which means a certain amazing Scottish friend of mine is owed a debt of gratitude!
