Time to fix things

My boss is clearing things out of his office before he finishes. He came and gave me a DVD with my name on it this afternoon. This was a similar face to the one I pulled when I played it - a lesson that I’d had recorded 8 years ago. The lesson itself was fine. I haven’t changed my teaching approach that much - still nuts. However, seeing myself two stone lighter and not looking haggard, I came to the realisation that I need a kick up the arse.

In that eight year period, there’s been 6 surgeries, endless medication and the inevitable impact on my body and my mind. But that feels like excuses for letting myself go. The only person who can do something about it is me.

So, today was day 1.

One Day at a time. Hopefully, a year from now, I might actually reach a point where I don’t hate the person who looks back at me from the mirror.
