    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    It was a lovely day Skinty - very tiring but quite an achievement to complete the walk.

    We congratulated ourselves by driving to a local lake, where we knew there would be an ice cream van and we all had a 99, including the dog :D

    I hope no-one from the Red/Green thread is reading this :o

    Hello chaps....

    I have also had a very productive day today! cleaned the whole house from top to bottom, had to empty the vacuum 3 times!!!!
    kids rooms are tidy and the bathroom is sparkling!
    did lots of ironing but there's still a huge pile to do.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
