Because I can...

It occurred to me today, as I ran up a steep hill nine times – I am so counting the first trial run – that I’m doing okay at 49. But then determination to be, do and act is like that. You're okay because you make damn sure you are.

Pay attention, Stupid...

Yesterday, despite a pulled muscle in my groin that hurt like hell, I followed the group and hiked up this goat track of a hill. It was steep and in places quite dangerous. I didn’t enjoy it for all the reasons stated. Of late, life lessons have been coming to me thick and fast. Pain is your body’s way of saying “Slow down, stupid.” As for walking up a dangerous track following others? Well, says it all doesn’t it?

Life lessons – pay attention.
