I’m about to fall asleep. I’ve had a great day. Nothing special, nothing too mundane. I like these days. The John Lennon quote, “life if what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans”, spoke to me around lunchtime. It was welcomed with intrigue and I decided to connect it to other thoughts floating around. I have felt the past few days that I have really just done a a bit more of what I have wanted to do without second thought. This is good, perhaps why I have enjoyed the day so much. I need to spend this time living, between now and the actioning of my next big plan – I have an idea of what it is. Some may know, some could definitely guess. I am looking forward to that day, there’s just plenty of other things I need to do first. I started off this morning by swimming 1.5km. 15 x 100s, a mix of freestyle, backstroke and kick. Tomorrow morning, I plan to do something very similar. I deemed it ok earlier but thinking back now, it has just annoyed me. I bought some sourdough bread, a tin of tuna, a Pepsi Cola (urgh) and a bar of Cadburys Hazelnut Chocolate for the grand total of £7 from the Co-Op. I did not need, want or ask for it (really) but ahhh well. It is rather quite difficult to be perfectly healthy. All the correct doses of minerals and vitamins and certain things you mustn’t do. Writing this now at 21:41, I link this back to the perfection conversation in Daily Blog number 4, our diets of what we eat and drink will be an example of a set of developed workarounds. What keeps your body functioning efficiently, effectively; what makes you feel good? Although it is late, my brain flickers to a thought of feeling good? Can you feel good but still be unwell? Is ‘feeling’ enough? Do we need something else to back it up, perhaps the science? I do want to test myself again soon. Compete. And train for a purpose other than personal fitness and health. I want to swim. I want someone to push to another level, I want someone to find that in me. There is certain level of competition one needs, someone to push you on, afford you to be better. A previous lesson learned, was once about dreams. I wonder if you can figure out which one I’m alluding to?

People forget.
