It really is good to know the people of our thinking about me and value my work. Incidentally, on the subject of my "accident" I prefer not to think of it as such I put it down to the fact that I made a mistake and that's what caused the crash, this might seem like a subtle distinction at first but making the mistake is something I can do something about them that keeps me firmly in the driving seat my life as I continue to recover. Okay, I admit I might benefit from a bit more practice on my bike too! :-) bye for now, Anth.

This seems to have been down to a problem with replication on the web. I have manually removed you from one set so you should only get one e-mail a day now - along with the occasional notification of new blog posts. If this is too much to you and you would like to unsubscribe please let me know and I will arrange it for you. All the best, Anth. Drew,

If you cannot keep it to one per day then please unsubscribe me from your list. Regards, Drew Gregg Anthony

I'm sorry to read about your accident; it must have been a shock, but you certainly seem to have coped well! You didn't miss a Tip! All the very best for your healing process. It may reassure you to know that a broken bone heals stronger than the original, which means it won't break in the same place again! (Probably, following Burns' wisdom, on either side, should you decide to go mountain biking in the future!!!) Hi Anth,

I see that people are talking about religion. Religion is good but some of the people who belive in it can be bad. Now one thing is for sure, The Almighty did not create the accident. We are all blessed to take the responsibility of life on in our own hands. Riding the mountain bike will make it less likely to have a heart attack by becoming big. I am big and yes I have had an MI. Exercise is one of the best things one can do for ones self. Please G-d you will be back on the bike thinking of more of your great tips. Just remember to wear a helmet. Wishing you a perfect recovery all the best from Phil Dear Anth

I have learned, too, that I can plan my journey - it is the outcome I have no control over, as you have so eloquently demonstrated in your message. Your tips are incredibly helpful. When I first subscribed, I tried to "learn" each one as I received them -- that was, for me, impossible. What I realized is exactly what you pointed out today, working each day to do the very best I can, using the tips that help me, without stress, more easily toward my daily goals. Sometimes I have days that I break my objectives into hourly increments -- other days longer or shorter periods of time, lightening or increasing my task load. Then at the end of each day, instead of judging my accomplishments, or lack thereof, I accept the day and be grateful for the lessons I have learned. What I do NOT to any longer is beat myself up for the things I didn't do -- expectations I did not meet; my own or especially those of others. Thank you for the daily sign posts -- your daily wisdom and reminders make a difference in my life. Wishing you smooth healing and God's blessings, Denise Dear Anth,

But how much can we manager our life? You said your experience is one result of "take for granted". But we take for granted in many things. How do you think about religions, are they we take for granted? If God can not be verified being or not, we only can take it for granted in spite of you believe it or not. I have a question of religion, is it helpful in psychological problem? Long history shows that religion is very important, even overwhelming on earth. Believes are things surely being taken for granted, do you thinks so? Hi, Anth,
