Regular readers will recall the ongoing saga of a man and his mower. You will recall that I am no mechanic but have been forced to take up the spanner. You will be pleased to learn that my DIY efforts have been rewarded and the noble mount (or should that be Mountfield?) is working very well, but the Universe, having a sense of humour has challenged me again. We have discovered that we have a leak in the fuel tank. Today I set about fixing the replacement on and it went relatively smoothly.

However, it got me thinking; in the same way as the crack drained all the energy form the mower, aren’t there things in your life that drain your energy? Sometimes it is certain people, others it is certain situations. How do you fix your energy leak? One way is to just avoid the causes and that can be appropriate, but others we need more of a permanent fix.

How have you coped with this sort of thing and how have you moved beyond it?
