Getting Back on Track

I reckon its now time to get my life back on track following the death of Jane its no good sat around feeling sorry for myself. Its hit me hard because I really did love Jane but I know she would want me to keep going forward in my life. I'll never forget her, I have some lovely photos and fantastic memories, she was so special for me.

I need to keep busy

So where do I go now -

1. Luckily its the start of the TT season and I played at the weekend for my British League Club, we did ok beating Woodfield (Birmingham), drawing with Uxbridge (Burton) & Chesterfield and losin narrowly 5-3 to Drumchapel Glasgow. We were pleased with them results because on paper its a tough division for us. Personaly I won 4 and lost 4 of my games which was ok because I haven't put in the pre-season training for obvious reasons.

2. I need to get going with the weight loss, my holiday, lack of exercise and living out of hotels while visiting Jane have taken their toll. Too many full english breakfasts, Pub meals & Beer do tend to have that effect.
So now I'm watching what I eat and trying to exercise as much as possible, been also working in the garden which will help.
I'll report more about my plans for weight loss and fitness soon.

3. Next Saturday I'm out for a meal with a few old workmates, apparently 3 of them are celebrating Birthdays, it'll be good to catch up with the crowd.

4. Gotta just point out the Footie season is up and running and the Mighty Whites are on their way back, 8 wins from 8 matches, MOT.

5. Finally for awhile now I've been thinking about doing something, you know having a direction or a challenge in life. Anyway I'm planning to do so fund raising for charity, maybe organise a number of events. Thinking of doing it for Cancer Research in respect for Jane and maybe help others not have to go through whjat we have in years to come. I actually discussed this with Jane before she passed away and she thought it was a great idea.
Not yet decided on what I'll be doing yet but I'm mulling over a few ideas, first I need to contact "Cancer Research" apparently they provide a advisory pack to help you get started.
Not sure when I'll get started on this project but I will just need some solid ideas if anyone has any suggestions, lets face it everyone knows someone who as suffered with cancer.

Thats all for now but I'll try update on all these things.

Hi Mick
Keeping busy really does help. I found that if you sit down quietly for long you start to think things over and you can end up in a terrible state.
I think your idea to do something for charity is great. I am sure that whatever you decide to take on you will really succeed at. You can count on me and Andy for sponsorship.
Take care and you know where we are if you need us.

Mick,

I hadn't checked your blog in weeks, which I regret now. I am so sorry to hear about Jane's death. I don't even know what to say. I am so sorry that this happened and so quickly. It's a true tragedy and so unfair. I am thinking of you. Take it easy on yourself. You'll heal at whatever rate you heal. Volunteering sounds like a great idea.
