    You are not causing anyone any hardship, lovely, I promise. Yes, obviously, the PiP award will help you all but it’s nothing in comparison with how kind, compassionate and loving you are - and I’m sure your family will tell you the same
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    If I can't be useful. Thats enough to break my heart. I know finances can be troublesome. I believe 100% that you could take weeks where you take it easy and chilled people would want you around. Because you are you. People care about you. I care. And useful is not what I think about. I would love to sit with you and watch tv. Or talk. Its all good and its all enough.

    Wow only swimming 36 lengths that's epic in my book.
    77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"

    Having a bit of a day of it. But I went swimming and thrashed out over 50 lengths and it helped ease my anxiety and tears a bit. PLUS I poured it all out to A when I got home. (Think that deserves a chufty badge imho)
    Going to knit this afternoon. My daughters jumper is coming on well. I want it done for the weekend so need to focus.

    Did my zoom class his morning and then went for a swim.
    I think getting used to taking my daughter to work in the mornings is taking its toll. I jumped back into bed this morning at 7:45 and didn't get up till near 10. I need to find a better routine.
    I'm always tired anyway but this week I seem to be feeling it more. I was determined to churn out 80 lengths at the pool today but after 20 I thought I was done. Had to really grit my teeth to get to my goal.

    Is it worth setting a smaller target? If you struggle to achieve it then at least you got there, and if you surpass it then go you! Just a thought as I wouldn't want you to use not meeting your goal as a stick to beat yourself with

    I agree, it’s ok not to push yourself some times...
