I feel I have neglected this blog in recent months. That's not to say that my challenge has been abandoned. Oh no. My pile of medals is steadily growing and the donations are slowly rising. I have a long way to go to reach my fundraising target but I will get there. Somehow.
So, why the absence? Well, for a while it was struggling to impress you with my words. Clutching at ways to make my blog stand out... and in lots of ways, life has stumbled in my path. Negative thoughts have crept in...
Amidst training for races, taking part in races and pushing for donations, I've been busy trying to get a little theatre company going (and panicking about the hit to my finances that comes with launching a new business), busy with two children who demand a lot of attention from Mummy (clingy toddler anyone?) and busy supporting my husband at a particularly low time. (We will be leaving our home in just a few months, for where? I honestly do not know...) Stress has taken over. This blog has slipped by the wayside, so to speak.
But, I'm back. Still busy, still pushing to get my theatre company off the ground (and it will, with time. I am slowly building a reputation within the area and taking steps to create something special, that goes far beyond profit), still with toddler arms pulling at my clothes and jumping all over me (showering me with love and affection), still with a husband to be an amazing wife for (for BETTER or for worse). I promise though, that however busy I get, I will always make time for my challenge and this blog as an outlet for the positive journey that the challenge is taking me on. My training for the half marathon that will end my epic race challenge is in full swing. I will keep going. Because I am lucky to have the good health to do so. Difficulties in life will always tug at me, try to pull me in another direction, try to convince me that 'there are not enough hours in the day', so let's redress the difficulties- see them for the opportunities they present. I choose to be positive. My daughter taught me to smile in the face of adversity- as she did throughout her cancer treatment. Wallowing time is over. Life is beautiful. Truly beautiful. My cup isn't half full, it's bubbling over. So bring it on!!!
