So glad you're starting to feel better, Ellie Mae aka Forest Gump! ❤️️ We carry these physical (and other) pains around with us for so long we tend to forget how the weight affects our resilience. Been thinking a lot about resilience these days - how to build it, how to nurture it, how not to let pain affect it but rather feed it (haven't mastered that one yet!!). It sounds like mowing is one of your resilience builders! And yes, if there's someone around who looks like they can lift a lawnmower better than you, put 'em on the job 😉.
I hope you find the book. Would love to discuss it with you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your supportive wishes. They mean so much! We're at that stage where we still can't see the funding coming in (so close, but so far), but the savings are down to the last few months. This is one of the reasons I'm thinking so much about resilience, and focus on the objective - going back to the time that group of us climbed Kilimanjaro and reached the summit...one foot in front of the other, eyes on the summit. Before you think that was when I was young and fit, it was just 9 years ago (so ixnay on the oungyay) and let's just say that nobody would have mistaken me for an Olympic athlete 😜😜. It was all about attitude - some would say mental, emotional and/or spiritual strength. Believing we would do it somehow banished any negative thoughts. Now, in this situation, believing we will do it is critical. Every drop of support you send makes an immense difference...so thank you, thank you, thank you. Much love back - your Kiligirl friend 😘😘
I am so missing both you and your niece @lynb. It’s been over 4 months since we have heard from you and I would love to know of your progress. Missing you both more than you know. ❤️🐓🐓
