Calming

  I'm doing more and more Lego building recently. I find it extremely calming and relaxing just sifting through the pieces, finding the right bit and putting it in place. I spent a couple of hours yesterday afternoon building my latest purchase, a pretty huge jet plane. I don't care the Lego is meant to be a kids toy, I think everyone can be a kid mentally when they need to to forget about everything that goes on around them and just find that place that allows their mind to rest.

  There is one thing that always does this for me, being with my wife. Not necessarily right there touching her but simply in the same house as her. Knowing that any time I can reach out and touch her, talk to her, let her know how much she means to me. Knowing that I can be there for her in the same way. Even when I am at work I have an IM client running so we can talk any time we want to, be in instant contact with each other so that we always feel connected to one another.

  Shit and bad things may always happen around you but if you can find a person or persons who complete your life nothing else matters. Also if you can accept who you are and not care about what other people think about you life gets so much easier. It took me a while to realise that when I was younger but after meeting my wife I reached a point where I just didn't give a damn about what other people think. I live for my wife and I (plus the odd cat or four).

  Now back to your regularly scheduled whatever you were doing to be happy and relaxed since everything else is just filler in life.
