Well. Welcome to this thread.

You may be surprised why it is here or happy it is here. Then again: ‘You have got to be joking! Do you know what is wrong with me?’ may be your response.

This all began on the Extreme Fatigue thread. On there several people wanted and needed inspiration/incentive to get out and walk. Many people see the benefits of it in their life and to help on this; mad journey, train ride, rollercoaster ride and other positively rude words journey called Breast Cancer.

It is not a thread created to make anyone feel less than they do at present. It is not a thread that will set people against one another. Being competitive with yourself or a simple challenge to yourself is the point, but not a race against others is a key premis.

The idea is that you can do any of these or none:

Post when you have walked.
Post how many minutes you walked for.
Post how you felt before, during or after. Or not at all.
Post pictures from your walk, but ones that do not point to where you live.
Post inspirational quotes, thoughts or comments.
A simple like of people’s efforts is fine. No need to write an essay unless you feel the need.
On a safety note. Do tell friends, family or the thread when you leave and return safely. Be aware of your personal safety at all times.

Well here goes.

Either it will grow and blossom, with lots of lovely people benefiting. Or I will have egg all over my face – not for the first time in my chequered life and career.

Leolady – may be adding in the odd gallop to my walks.

PS if you don't like us don't be cruel.

Hi Jan

Gosh you've gone through the mill haven't you. I can't imagine, I'm not so keen on new song either. I love singing in our choir though it's what gets me through any stresses and times when I'm sad I sing.

I've been a rockie for 3 and a bit years now.

A 1,000 years is a beautiful song I love dreams and the freats like super trouper and this is me.

I'm feeling very fragile and scared at moment I'm just isolating before operation so I can't attend rehearsal tonight. Just singing from online resources .

I hope if you sing this week look around and really listen to your choir. Your find the harmonies and sound you create so beautiful.

Thank you for the reply

Love
