I am not a huge fan of soccer...by any means. But, I am a fan of Australian sport and tonight I watched my second full game of round ball football. The first was Matilda's last game and now, tonight, in my hometown of Brisbane, the Matildas beat France in a penalty shootout to go through to the semi-finals of the FIFA Women's World Cup...a feat never before achieved by any soccer team from Australia...for either men or women. Next is either England or Columbia...go Matildas. I didn't train today. I've got a huge bruise on my right hip and another below my left eye, caused by a bicycle crash yesterday. I lost focus on riding, becoming distracted by a few issues I am having. I was tired and instead of keeping my eyes ahead as I pedalled, my eyes were down, thinking about shit not worth losing my life over, and I ran into the rear of a parked car. The only damage was to my body (and my pride). I will recover, and count myself lucky because it could have been a lot worse than a few bruises. This afternoon, I had to force myself not to do weights because I'm on a roll and don't want to miss even one session. I will be back in the gym tomorrow, taking this setback as a lesson to keep focused on the road ahead and leave my troubles at home. Other than that...everything is on track. Group meetings restart on Tuesday and I got a call on Thursday informing me that I am no longer on the waiting list for one-on-one counselling (which is actually two on one...I assume for safety reasons) which I begin next week on Friday. |
