Thanks everyone.
All came as a bit of a shock to me. Little bit of a warning my body is giving me over stress I think… Cut back, don’t pick fights, don’t let others get me angry or upset, and above all I have to rest… Ok I’m working but going steady, just have to learn I can’t take on the world all in one go

Some fights just aren’t worth fighting mate , something I’ve learnt over the past few years , got fed up of being angry at the world , it wil come with age , but for the sake of your health let it slide . It doesn’t mean you are a pushover so don’t let that sway your judgement or make you feel bad .
You know there are people here for you if you need to unload any problems or concerns , as @ScottMR put it so eloquently we have your back

This is a story that I first heard at a funeral but it has popped up a few times since. Might put things into perspective. Not just for you Steve but for everyone…
A professor of philosophy stood before his class with some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks about two inches in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was full.
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly and watched as the pebbles rolled into the open areas between the rocks. The professor then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They chuckled and agreed that it was indeed full this time.
The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. The sand filled the remaining open areas of the jar. “Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar signifies your life. The rocks are the truly important things, such as family, health and relationships. If all else was lost and only the rocks remained, your life would still be meaningful. The pebbles are the other things that matter in your life, such as work or school. The sand signifies the remaining “small stuff” and material possessions.
If you put sand into the jar first, there is no room for the rocks or the pebbles. The same can be applied to your lives. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are truly important.
Pay attention to the things in life that are critical to your happiness and well-being. Take time to get medical check-ups, play with your children, go for a run, write your grandmother a letter. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, or fix the disposal. Take care of the rocks first – things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just pebbles and sand.
Once the lecturer had finished a student pulled a couple of cans of beer from his bag and walked up to the front and poured them into the jar and said “no matter how full your life seems there is always time for a couple of beers with a friend”.

First time I heard the story it was at a funeral yes. Sadly the old boy spent more time drinking than with his family in his younger days so it was quite apt. I also heard it again in a Time Management course that was funnily enough a giant waste of time!!
Either way I found the story to be quite an eye opener and certainly will keep it in mind next time I’m flying off round the world to keep my company happy while leaving a grump misses at home looking after baby!
