Why Camping is Essential for Mental Health Maintenance

Well before I head out into the bush for my first camping trip I’d figure to try and keep my promise to be active. Try and give you something to think about. After these five years here now the grinding begins. Sometimes numbers dwindle, people lose interest. Is what I’m talking about not so interesting anymore? Maybe my life is just normal? Normal can can boring. When dealing with the type of…

Six Years to the Date, a Reflection

I’m standing at my bedroom window, looking at the backyard. The trees are budding, hostas are poking through the now frost free ground. My patchy grass is dark green in some areas, in others mud…the result of dogs playing. It’s beautiful and calming after what the last five weeks have been like. A smile crosses my face, although I know much work is to be done to make the yard clean and up to par…

Coping With Cancer: A Personal Reflection

So, here we are back a little quicker than the last while. Time, boy where does it escape to? Trying to come up with engaging content is by far the toughest part of writing. To those who do this for a living, you have my admiration. Blogging about my life and cancer battle can hit a wall when nothing really exciting happens. But, in a catch 22 I really prefer the stable part of journey so far. As…

Navigating Health Updates: My Journey

The Cost of Value Well a couple of weeks have gone by, but hey better than months again, right? Before I get into my latest health update I’m just going to briefly touch on something. I have been taking stock again of my life, I know I have talked about the importance of time and that it’s mine (and your) most precious commodity.

Living with Cancer: My Daily Growth and Reflections

We start the new year with a clean plate, so we think. Many times I have told myself this year will be different. I will try this or do that, get fit and ya, it can last for that short while as that quick acting inspiration to be better, nicer, take no shit attitude or actions last. For me? This doesn’t work well, while last year started as one of my strangest and most foreign, you can read about…

Embracing Life's Portages: Finding Your True Path

I sit here and often myself why do I write this blog? Why do I share my story with anyone willing to listen? It’s much easier just to be, say for lack of a better word…ordinary. Have you ever felt like this life has something more for you. Being ordinary is well, boring. I don’t by any means say that to offend anyone who enjoys the life they have. From an early age we are taught a specific order…

Well That Was A Long Break

Trust me, I’m glad you’re all still here Now that five years has come and gone it’s awful ironic how so many things have changed and that I had a series of posts related to the “change” in my life. I have caught myself looking in the mirror taking time to reflect and yes talk to myself, I swear I not that crazy, well….only a little and isn’t life is much more interesting that way. Although the…
