An acquaintance is having his Oesophagus removed after three lots of Radiotherapy today. It's a pretty major piece of work and I hope that it will be a success for him. It's not been a nice ride at all and at one time he didn't want anyone to even talk to him - bless him.
Well fingers crossed they can sort that out and that he recovers quickly - He will be in for 10 to 14 days unsurprisingly.
This puts a lot into some sort of perspective. Mind you we weren't expecting that they would be able to do this a few months ago so it is good news although he is, justifiably, very concerned.
I see lots of interesting things these days - or perhaps I just see things differently to the way I used to see them. I watch people getting angry or just doing batty things. I hear strange conversations and am sometimes surprised at the way people talk to each other or interact with each other. I'm no longer getting angry with people who frankly used to piss me off. I just don't interact with them. It's quite good - I don't always succeed but I'm working on it. I was watching how someone is interfering, almost bullying, someone I know and I've been able to turn it and get them thinking that the person doing all of this is actually the person with the problem not the recipient which is, in fact, the way it is. So no victim here, no reaction just move on.
You can also see things seething in people's demeanour - little injustices, little hurts all building up and what for at the end of the day it just gets you upset not the person that instigated it. Therein lies the part that I'm working on at the moment which is to keep removing these little problems for that is all they are. I may no like the way someone talks to me or does something and yet why should it affect me? Sure it may look rubbish, it may "hurt" your feelings and all that BUT why should you get all rattled about it - it's totally non productive and the only person who gets hurt is yourself.
Anyway - enough of this, I've finally got to a place that I've wanted to be in for a good few weeks and that is now in a neutral place about what has happened this past 4 months or so. I was suffering a few doubts but feel those are now behind me. There's mixed emotions of course but I'm happy with those now. I'm kind of happy now with the massive changes in me too. I'd have liked a few other things to have slotted neatly into place and one that didn't happen left a huge chasm in my plans but as I now realise, if it was meant to have been it would have happened and it was way out of my control or sphere of influence and whilst it is a shame, it can't be helped and I must move on.
The first logo rushes have just arrived from my graphic artist and so that's exciting - well everything except choosing one of the 16 I have in front of me - I have my friends also looking as they will probably see things better than I will. That's tonight's mission to go and have a look and a play and a feel of the logos. I can see two of them being really right up there and another 2 with a bit of work may cut it. I remember hating the Doddle logo to start with and yet after three or four days it sort of came out OK - let's see what happens with this one :-)
