    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.

    Ok- so I'll talk to myself. :rolleyes:
    I had a lovely evening last night with DD1 and baby Samuel. He's not keen on his bath I can tell you now.:eek:

    Today I was up at silly o'clock (slept well though) as it is my day off and I am going to enjoy every single second. I will :
    • Do the ironing - any minute now when the caffeine kicks in.
    • Deliver some books.
    • Return via Mr M after a very minimalistic shop.
    • Make a phone call - maybe.
    • Spend the afternon in the garden - if this mist clears.
    • Go to a church meeting - shame about that.
    Hope everyone has a good day!

    All targets achieved except the last one. Why spoil a good day.:D
