Based on how well I coped in last week’s cycle across the flatlands by the Port of Menteith, I decided I was ready to tackle Duke’s Pass. This was a challenge I set myself a few years back before the heart attack thing, so it was a bit thing for me to feel I was once again able to at least consider tackling this pass once again.
This week has been a bit of a deviation from my plan to shed my excess baggage but I’ve had a fabulous few days with my children and grandchildren in Halifax so I’m not bothered at all.
Have you ever planned to do something just because it seems such an impossible thing for you to achieve? A couple of months ago I was enjoying spending a day with a small group of friends, chatting, laughing and discussing our business ideas or, as we like to call it, creating magic. As we all happily munched on lovely home-made soup courtesy of Kim, followed by cakes, bakes, meringues with cream and a whole host of berries, Saffron told us she was training to do pull-ups at the gym. Saffron also admitted that the only reason she was aiming to do the pull-ups was because she truly believed it was an impossible task for her to achieve. “Go Saffron”, we all cheered, whilst grabbing another cake. It’s hungry work creating magic with friends.
