@arpie thankyou for your warm thoughts and I will be thinking of you on 9 July. Even though I was reassured by the good folk at Fiona Stanley Hospital clinic that all tests and results would be completed during the week we were in Perth, I did not believe them. I do now.
We have a uke group in Derby WA which meets on Sunday mornings down at our jetty area for a "jam". It would be lovely to be able to post music files.
I am not into learning the uke, however Lucy who leads the group has offered to teach me the violin ( she is monstrously talented music wise) and I am accepting her offer. Who knows maybe I will be the next Andre Rieue! (Not). I expect there will be the squeaky tones of Twinkle Twinkle and 3 Blind Mice coming from my sewing room! It's a challenge that I will embrace.
After I recovered from the trauma of BC I never did get into the raising money for cancer or marathon running deal. I could barely put one foot in front of the other for a few metres let alone 50 kms! I only wanted to curl up in the corner and lick my wounds but gradually the sewing machines called and I found myself sitting in front of them and I made myself go into the sewing room each day. After a few mangled mishaps I was back into sewing. I am now back at our CWA Saturday Markets with my crafts. It did take a year. The markets have helped to improve my mindset of "feeling sorry for myself".
@kezmusc I can relate to your analogy of the goalposts and I use goals to try and enjoy each day. I pick a goal, activity or challenge for each day. Usually something simple and attainable. It is amazing how something simple helps with the confidence.
