Blog 24 – Sunshine

Blog 24 – Sunshine

You’ll not have read my last two blogs, because I didn’t tell you I’d published them. Actually there are three. The one about pain is quite interesting in a QI sort of way.

In Blog 23 I moaned a lot. I said I want to be well. Well now I feel well well. Row and I had a really good holiday in Spain at the start of this month. The weather up in the mountains wasn’t great, so that meant a lot of just chilling in the cortijo and some casual, drive thru birdwatching. Then we had a day at the seaside. 23c. And then to the golf resort at Desert Springs where 28 of us played in tee-shirt and shorts weather. It was a health giving boost bringing back positivity through partying and putting. And sunshine.

The soreness I mentioned has reduced. The range of movement has improved. The mouth is not so dry during the day. I like coffee and wine again. So bring me sunshine.

I said I want to be fit. Now I feel well fit. Whilst I haven’t done any exercise yet, I have been doing a lot of physical stuff around the house. I played three rounds of golf in Spain (I had a buggy) and two rounds of golf at home without buggy. I will get back on the bike when the weather improves. So bring me sunshine.

I said I want to be healthy. I do feel well healthier. I’m managing to eat most things now and have an appointment with the dentist in two weeks time. I did two and a half days at work last week and three full days this week. Whilst not there yet, I think my brain is getting up to speed.

And finally I said I expect more of myself. Well not now. I feel that I am exceeding my own expectations which is a huge, moralely uplifting, boost to my self-esteem; that has banished depression. So bring me laughter, all the while.

And it's goodnight from him.

Bring me Sunshine, in your smile,
Bring me Laughter, all the while,
In this world where we live, there should be more happiness,
So much joy you can give, to each brand new bright tomorrow,

Make me happy, through the years,
Never bring me, any tears,
Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above,
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love.
