I only started writing after realising my struggles in retirement came from a “rushing mind”, and thought that by writing this open journal of sorts would help keep me accountable to combating it.
Ben, I love reading your blogs. The fact you have written about different topics, expressed your opinion and recognised the challenges you face in life make it all interesting. I don't always agree on some things, but life is full of different opinions. It is worth hearing them and considering your own ideas.
As an overweight, old front rower, reading about your challenge leaving rugby hits home. I miss playing massively and would love to go back, but I don't think the knees would cope. However my dream is to play that one game with my boys. Only two years to wait on that possibility. I'll be 52 by then but keeping active with them keeps the dream alive.
Glad to hear you're continuing. I really enjoy reading and the honesty in your posts is fantastic. I'm not an old rugby player, just a guy in my 40's but can relate to a lot of what you have been through. Thanks for taking the time to write.
Great to hear that you're keeping it going Ben, you've got heaps of good stuff to share.
And thanks for the shout out 😃 I know I've had some shocking typos over my blogging time and I always appreciated it (eventually) when someone pointed them out!

Keep writing, it spurs me on to that goal.

Blame the predictive text on the device for the typos…. That’s what I do! lol 😆
