    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.

  • Belated good morning all.
    All going a bit pear shaped this morning. :eek:
    Overslept.
    Got to hairdresser and decided to be coloured so now VERY late.
    Still cooking sausage rolls which I should have done last night.
    Now have to drive 6 miles in the wrong direction to pick up some banners which someone else forgot.
    Oh well. Keep smiling. :D
