Struggle in happiness
FredPeyer said:

Happiness is there for the taking, PD. You should never struggle to enjoy it. If you are happy, your happiness is contagious, and soon everybody around you will be happy as well. Forget the stupid \"Boys don\'t cry\" image. Case closed.

Yes Dan you most certainly are doing just what you say. I\'m proud to know you and witnessing you being brave enough to be the man you really are and not the crap macho sh\"t we are told men are.

You ain\'t no hide-away shrinking weed type guy neither which is plain to see..... you are a great leading example of what a man can find in life if he looks honestly into himself and is prepared to live it!

Now get off that pedestal i just put u on, cos there\'s a strong wind coming.

As a fellow rider I can only agree! On a bike you need to have 360 degrees vision.

Your last line contains such an important message to all who are struggling or lost Dan. Because the good is there waiting inside us. It just has to be nudged and then a chink of it\'s light will be seen.
You, as you well know, are living proof of this. You looked within and, for sake of a good phrase, you saw the light of positivity..... and full bloody marks to ya m8.

I see lotta unhappy ppl write here on mps and each time i say my little mantra.. if only you would look and see.

Ha I did exactly what you\'ve said and the worst part was on the push bike I assumed the car had seen me and was just pulling away!

It was that real shock of how the **** did I not see it! The road is massive! Just one frame of moment sooner and I he would of got it, strange thing is one of the first thoughts was that would of really spoil my good mood and I\'d only just got the bugger back!

Buddy you could scribble on my page all day, I\'m sure we would just laugh or discuss till the cows come home!
(sorry to go back at ya, must be my meds kicking in)

Near misses can be terrifying but oh so much better to reflect upon and beat ones self up over rather than an actual contact.

I dunno why but your piece made me reflect upon something an old boss of mine said to me when i was a salesman selling to plumbers, builders and the like. \"Always drive home from your work day by a different route, take roads you would normally by-pass because you just might see something you would never see if you dont\" well he was thinking about seeing opportunities to sell but today im thinking slightly differently. You\'ve had to stop and think \"what would it have been like if i hit that person\" and \"what would it be like to have been hit by me\" and \" what would it be like to be a witness to that accident\"...... It occurs to me that in doing these, and indeed visualising many other angles of any subject makes us grow. Brings us wisdom. Exploring many aspects beyond the obvious.

Sorry to go \'off key\' a bit m8 but maybe its just the keemo drugs.

There\'s a lot of good going on in your life these days mister... ain\'t there (smile ya bugger!).

God is in you, outside you and all around you once you find god innit. But god ain\'t for me that one we were indoctrinated with as kids. The one we were taught to fear (how daft).
Hope you feel similar, i kinda know you do.
Great to see you are all together and enjoying the feelings.

Dan,

An honest and heartfelt write! You are so right, “Changing what I can, letting go of what I can’t.” That’s the best we can do...and that’s good enough for me...and obviously, good enough for you!

Reading this poem felt like breathing a breath of fresh air! Thank you for sharing!
