Ganb8te 2 - WAH - lost in translation

[Old Dog]

It's good to see you're practising (or attempting to) mindfullness ganb8te. I like the idea of going for a walk and doing it in the park. I go to a group meeting on Wednesday evenings but don't do any by myself bless I'm feeling really low, in which case I e got Oli Doyle on my iPhone to help me.

I like your letter. Well, like isn't the right word but you know what I mean. I say a similar little speech to myself before I go to sleep each night.

As far as a guy's perspective goes, I don't know if I'm a typical guy. I never felt like one. I'm trying my best to keep a PMA, appear cheerful and initiate a conversation with my wife. I'm not much of a talker, so this is a small 180 for me. But sometimes it's like sweeping blood out of a stone and it's just too much effort. But keep going, it gets a little easier. OK there will be days when you go back two steps. You just have pick yourself up and try again.

It will help your own self worth whatever happens. I'm feeling a lot more like my old self now. I think my wife must have taken note but she's not showing any sign of budging. The elephant in the room has shrunk though thank goodness.

Do the breathe thing and let us know how you're getting on.
