Thanks, Ellie. It's amazing, really, some of the things I'm learning through all this. Really an eye-opener, and a truly humbling experience too. Trying to continue to use the information as motivation for change, instead of more fuel for beating myself up.
One of my goals (in the original set, I think ) was to start a new sport - as I think athletic companionship would really be a strong link in our R and M. I haven't done this yet, but want to - not only for my M, but for me too. I've never thought of myself as athletic, but I enjoy trying and am able to do fairly well. My H, on the other hand, is super athlete - cycling cross country, etc. I really admire how you've taken on challenges (Mt. Whitney,snowboarding)and are enjoying this new facet of your life. It is inspirational for me.
Thank you for stopping by - I value your posts - both here and on other threads.
