Hi LF. (T)

THanks for asking about my health . Yes I still have pneumonia, My GP calls it idiopathic atypical pneumonia,,, translated , means , He has no bloody idea.

A plethora of medication , and get back to work, move , exercise blah blah . So im taking his advice.

Lonliness is a thought , I dont manage that thought very well at times , and have to keep check on what I call "The wanting mind".

I have found that if I let myself and my thoughts wander off, into what if land, I can become very ungrateful.

The reality was , I came home to a beautiful 1880s fully renovated home , with great views across a park , gorgeous garden etc.
My 3 daughters are only a phone call or 25 mins drive away , and I know if I called them , any one of them would jump in their car and come to see me,my friends all live close by . etc etc

I think the booze numbed what I would call a "normal" emotion, and I kept numbing it to the point where it became a metaphoric monster.

Thought management ...

Thanks for writing back..

Kind regards
