Old friends never go out of fashion

The past few months have been very exciting for me. I have met a lot of neighbours in the new place we're renting. I got to walk and enjoy the countryside in glorious weather with a much better stamina than ever before. Apart from the 2-hour daily walks with Taz, I also do some aeroburn at least 20 minutes every day and I do some jogging in the park in the evening whilst James play fetch with Taz and I do these not really to lose weight but to keep fit. When I first came to Chesterfield I had to pause every 5 minutes because I get tired so easily. I had lousy stamina, to say the least.
Another benefit of exercise, as I realised, is it makes you happy! Not that I am not happy without exercise, but since doing a lot more physical activities, I feel calmer. Exercising causes the body to produce endorphins, chemicals that can help a person to feel more peaceful and happy and this is very true for me.

In September I received an unexpected email from a very special person to me. Actually it was so funny because I was just clearing out my Blackbery inbox because it was so full of FV spam and then there it was! I think I had to blink a few times to make sure my eyes are not deceiving me and then I had to take a deep breath before I clicked on the email as I was almost certain it was going to be nasty. But to my surprise, it wasn't nasty in the least bit. On the contrary it was short and sweet. It was a really good surprise. To know that someone close to your heart has forgiven you and wants to keep in touch and wants to know how you are is one of the best feeling one can ever experience. He was my first love as lame as that sounds! I'm such a cheeseball. They say that first love never dies, and I agree but it doesn't have to be the same kind of love. It has been over 10 years ago but I remember it so well like it was just yesterday. I am so glad to hear from Chris anyway, I give him credit for some of the dreams I didn't know I had in the first place. He made me write the best poems ever! He was really an inspiration to me during my rebellious teenage days. I am so happy that we are OK and are keeping in touch again. Who knows, he might come to England and I can be his tourist guide - ok, ok I will make a bad tourist guide here but I will try nonetheless. I must not have been a bad person because just last week I got an email from another special person in my life :) One of us might have to cross the bridge someday so burning it is not an option.
