    Monday will be a difficult day & later next week I will chair a board meeting at which very difficult decisions will have to be made.
    If it does not go as it needs to go I have no idea how we can move forward.

    Don't try to pre-plan it. You're not here to predict the future of the universe. Wait for the decision(s) to be made, then take it from there.

    One foot in front of the other Beanie - it's the only way to keep going.

    Or in other words 'Keep Plodding' :)

    Hope all goes well with the challenges.

    Hope your ploddingness is of the light-footed variety x
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
