Do you make sure you enjoy life?

Hello all on Hive Blog and beyond,

It is important no matter what you do in life to make sure you spend time with those you love and also enjoy life.

This weekend i went to Brighton in the UK and this was for several different reasons.

First reason was it was a great opportunity to spend time with 2 of my daughters Siana and Paige Thomas as well as my eldest daughters partner Harrison Brown who has become a very good friend. Harrison and Siana are childhood sweet hearts which is very rare these days i think it is great they are in their mid 20's almost now and going strong planning their future together.

The second reason was just great to get away, get some content and just enjoy life away from the computer it is going to be something we do as regular as possible.

The third reason, also the most important one was it was a great opportunity to go visit an old friend Ian Clifford who has been going through some stuff and just needed some cheering up. I love that i am able to take my own experiences, also tough times to help others that need it, they say things happen for a reason and i massively agree with this statement even if we can't see it at the time.

We had a great time and some laughs along the way the first day travelling down was interesting, as you may know if you have been reading my recent posts or know me personally i suffer from mental illness.

I have a diagnosis of treatment resistant paranoid schizophrenia , complex PTSD(Post-traumatic stress disorder) , OCD(Obsessive compulsive disorder) but also on top of this i am high functioning autistic(Being autistic does not mean you have an illness or disease. It means your brain works in a different way from other people) and i have ADHD(Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).

All this combined just makes for an interesting journey and maybe a little annoying for those with me because there is no telling what i may do how i may act? LOL
We traveled by car as any other way during these times would just have been a nightmare for me and as you can imagine being in a car for long periods of time with someone like me can be extremely annoying at times i am aware LOL.

My daughter eldest daughter Siana had booked the campsite we were to stay at in the wrong town but some how we still ended up in Brighton, we have no idea how this happened so that was really funny.
So as an emergency because it took us 6 hours to get there because of terrible traffic i called my friend told him of the circumstances and he was happy to put us up for the night so that worked out great and we had a lot of fun hanging out in my opinion it was better this way.

The next day we all walked to to the beach had a meal together got a new campsite for the evening in a place called Funtinton before we headed back home.

This is the first official trip i have made in years and although being in a car with me for long periods of time is like being in the car with a giant annoying 4 year old i would say it was a massive success and we are all planning our next trip.

So i want to thank Siana, Paige and Harrison for their patience(saints honestly i am annoying) and look forward to the next one enjoying life is great medicine regardless if you have problems or not.

Also i was able to keep up my Push Up Challenge everyday to raise awareness for PTSD and depression on Facebook live.
