Hi @tyme thanks for your support. You seem to be a kind soul…

Thought I’d share some more positives as life is pretty good at the moment (focus is still on the great outdoors…).

- walked up and down a high/steep cliff face many times … felt great at the time but my quads and calves are now agonisingly painful

- explored some local bush-lands for a few hours …the peace of walking mostly alone and braving the lesser marked/known tracks was exhilarating

- I baked chocolate/coconut bars and banana bread … cooking is so calming for me

- had coffee with my mum, it was nice to connect (relationship can be full of land mines)

The above has built in some resilience for me for the rest of the week. Have a few challenges ahead. Some make me feel very anxious - one in particular has no resolution for me as yet.
