Ebbing and Flowing

I Phoned Sally today, as a thank you for something brilliant she did in the practice last week, but as always happens in conversations with Sally, it became a little bit deeper and about other things. 

I think Sally has done technical work for The Campbell clinic for about 10 years now, and although we use a range of laboratories for different things and I am not particularly strict with my clinicians, (not in the way a corporate might be) we have a long standing relationship and a shared passion for cycling amongst other things. 

Conversations with Sally though, always calm me down because she is such a calm person and the voice of reason. 

I was chatting to her about the build project, on about the scale of it and the decisions I’m having to make and everything I am having to learn and how difficult it is, and mostly about how its affected my cycling this year.  

I’ve always seen Sally as someone who has nailed the balance thing and leads a very calm and balanced life, and I explained that to her and said I wish I had found her secret. 

It was interesting that she denied that and said that, that is not the case, what she has been able to do is accept the ebb and flow of life and how it comes and how it goes. 

About 7 years ago in a long diary entry to myself as I was sat in a flat in Cornwall (which I will travel to in 2 days’ time again with my family) I had injured myself falling down the stairs, was about to miss my first ever half ironman triathlon and wrote an essay to myself about where would I like to be when I’m 50. 

I was 39 then.  

One of the things I wanted to do was to be one of the people that achieve the balance “It was one of the most important things”. 

Less than 3 years out from my 50th birthday and I am no closer to the balance than I was then, but it might be that I am getting closer to the acceptance of the ebb and flow.
