RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 55: The gift

It's fluid right? The same here. All the States have closed borders to the others and Sydney is locked down. I avoid the mainstream news so don't know the full extent right now.

Well, here's the thing with the hiking...You can always sit about the house and replay the movie reel of your hikes and re-live the feeling I guess. Not as good as the real thing, but a way to stay focused and positive. Maybe write a post about how you feel, the inability to hike and the enjoyment you get from hiking. Could be a good way to get perspective and to order your thoughts.

Yup! It’s all about perspective. My daughters Mozambik trip just got postponed as well. She was meant to leave on Friday so I guess we’re going to be baking for the next few weeks. Just when I thought I’d lost a KG. 😂

That's a bummer, I bet she's disappointed. Still, baking can be good. Well, for me it's more about someone else baking and me eating, but you know what I mean.

We all have to make the best of what we have. Attitude is the most important thing, keeping it in the right place. I know how important hiking is to you, as it's the same for me. These last few weeks of not being able to due to my operation sucked, but the anticipation of getting out again kept me going.

Bake and think about hiking. Maybe the balance between the two will help shed another kilo? (Not that you need to). Just be you, that's all a person can ask of themselves. I don't think it's viable to say one needs to remain positive, not long term anyway, because turning positivity on isn't always the easiest thing...But I think it's sustainable to seek the best possible attitude as often as possible. But what do I know, I'm a knucklehead.
