My yourney: I have been taking these past few weeks as a time to reflect on what I have achieved in this past year and think of all the nice things that have happened to me, and of all the special people that have touched my life. Because I am due to another surgery Thursday 23.10.2014 some of my thoughts have been on how I can prepare myself physically and emotionally for my surgery. I truly believe a healthy lifestyle and healthy emotional state of mind can help us conquer all.I am not looking forward to the actual operation, I do realise that this is happening for a reason and afterwards I will feel a weight lifted from my shoulders. Even though I can rationalise this out I still need to prepare myself. Like most people preparing for anything new or unknown I feel a bit scared! Communication is important in any relationship, whether it be a business or personal relationship. Because I am able to talk about my fears and thoughts to my family and friends I am overwhelmed by the support and love that I feel they are offerring me. Unfortunately not everyone is able to be as open, so I urge everyone to take the time if you have someone in your life facing a challenge to really be there for this person in your life. Be there emotionally, physically and be there to listen, not just to offer advice. When we are facing challenges, we know deep inside that no one can change what may be about to happen, but by talking to another person and them listening to us it helps enormously. In all honesty it is quite difficult to just listen, but if we all practice, it does get easier as time goes on. Thank you to my wife Judith Hagglund Strauss Byron Strauss and all other colleagues, friends and familiy that is always supportive.
