Since I last posted, a lot has changed, but most things appear to remain the same.<\/p>\n
Road user beware, I am sharing your tarmac, having started driving again after a short break. If I can make one small request at this point: everyone is fallible, especially when driving. So please be aware of your own mistakes and the mistakes of others, and should they occur, please treat others as you would like to be treated (like that\u2019s going to happen). Anyhow, it\u2019s great to be receiving tuition from a qualified advanced driving instructor and not feel intimidated or pressured that I might not pass the test at the end of it – because I already have (the basic driver proficiency test that is. And issued with the pink photo card licence, displaying a picture which looks nothing like me). The decision to take an advanced driver test is a way off yet.<\/p>\n
The other thing is Tai Chi. I can\u2019t sing its praises just yet, having only had 1 lesson, where we were taught the first, and possibly the most difficult moves. It is however, already helping to stabilise my flighty nature and re-establish more grounding energies. With any system that utilises energies like Chi, Qi or Ki, the individual needs to be firmly grounded in order to channel any kind of earth or spiritual energies. It is a process of calming the mind and reconnecting it with the body and the present. This also seems necessary to achieve the desired placebo effect some readers might consider this to be – a perfectly reasonable view to take in my opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
