What a day. Overall awesome which is what I will have in my weary head when it eventually hits the pillow. From my random texting which landed mid breakfast elsewhere in the world and caused a smile, to work with a group of folk who just needed a little bit of the grey matter fired up, in the midst of this working with the team on turning around doc after doc to support a culture changing communication, and then having a person on hand to do the 'sorting out the little stuff that winds me up' made for a day that felt good to be alive and great to be where I was. Present, in the room and being me.
I have been given very strong direction to include the paragraph I alluded to in my last post this morning. To the point I almost, but not quite got a comment about it. wow that would have been awesome, but not to be this time. So I will include it below. It made me smile alot when I thought of what could be...
But before I do that I want to recommend another book. It is a book I was lent by SP a couple of Sundays ago and whilst it is not a long read, I have re-read it three times now. 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho. It is an impactful read. It has impacted in a way that the lender knew it would. So thank you and if my small following of individuals out there, especially the one who currently resides on the opposite side of the world to Izzy and is beginning to believe in the wrong sort of karma need just to have a look, dip or splash about in something with only 172 pages and font size 11, then get down to a bookstore/shop and buy it. You will want to buy it because you will want to read it again in a years time and library fines are going up these days!
Ah yes where was I...the other book I am reading, well here is the next paragraph
'if you are in a committed relationship with someone and you both want to take on the big trip, congratulate yourselves on your good fortune in finding someone with the same aspirations. These rides are often some of the happiest and most successful, as many blogs will attest. There's more need for compromise than the temporary arrangements discussed above (see earlier post I did), but also more support when the going gets rough. The couples that ride together most happily tend to be fairly equal in their physical abilities, but over the course of many months most couples find their endurance abilities converge. As for mental strength and determination well, its a chance for men to catch up, but they don't always get there!'
So tonight I made 2 people smile and laugh, one of them called me a loon, mad and a freak but I am sure as terms of endearment. She had been thinking of me again, alot. The other thanked me for, well, just being me and putting the hopes, feelings and cares of others first as I am finding that I do, enjoy doing and want to continue to do for the rest of my time in this world.
Tomorrow is a big day for Izzy. You will need to read her post she will load or just look at her charity page and read the dates. If you can in some small way donate, then it would make her day and this experience even more awesome.
