Errrrm. What can I say. (sheepishly shrugs). It has been another two months since I have done a blog. the only reason is the games I have been playing. I mean, I got Half-Life 2 for Christmas off of my wife and I have completed that, then I went back to Neverwinter Nights and I have been playing that recently. I must try to do this more often though. However, there have been three major developments since my last blog.
Firstly, I am looking at going back to work. I have joined up with an organisation called RBLI. Those in the UK may have seen the adverts on the TV with people in an office wearing no clothes. Well, it is them that I have joined up with and I have my own Job Broker who searches out jobs for me and contacts potential employers and I can get a job easier on the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act). I am hoping to be back at work by Easter.
Secondly, both my wife and I have decided to give up smoking. I gave up a long time ago, but after Iwas nearly killed in a lorry crash, I started smoking again 19 years ago. We gave up on 31st January 2005, so at the time of writing this, we have been given up for a little over two weeks. I know it is early days yet, but the NRT is helping us and we are doing well. We have noticed a lot of changes and we can smell smokers from quite a distance now.
Before I give the "and finally", it is better if I explain why it is so special. Our family is mix of religious beliefs. My religion is that of, what can only be described as, "self". I don't believe in any almighty power or anything like that. I look at the fact that everyone has a destiny and you meander along this destiny road but you get where you are going in the end through your own choices. My wife is a Pagan. I can't explain that, I won't even try aside from it is mother earth and stuff like that. Our daughter is also a Pagan. Our son is Christian. Even when he broke both of his wrists a couple of weeks ago, the local vicar came up to see him, which brings me to the "and finally"
Our son has decided that he wants to be christened. Our vicar knows our beliefs and has agreed to talk to him to explain what it all means. He has chosen who he wants as God Parents. The choice is completely his, and I am proud that he has decided to take this "leap of faith".
Well, I hope it will not be another two months till my next post. Take care y'all.
