Yes good advice Andy you echo my wife’s continuous message as I spend too much time in the future and not enough in the present.
YET is a great word and perfect mantra

The future has it’s place in our thoughts but it can also hold you back if you let it. It’s great for aims and goals but if you’re seeing it as “is this how my life is going to be from now on”, those are the sorts of thoughts that hold you back. They’re non motivational or inspiring, they’re negative thoughts and are best steered clear of because they can actually stunt your progress.

It works for me buddy.
I attended my first gigpost stroke on Friday night
Was standing up for over 2 hours, didnt use the pushchair much. But should have as i got hit hard by fatigue yesterday. But we live and learn.

Totally agree Lorraine, already getting about better it is like I was moving fro a quad stick to single stick, takes a bit of adjustment.

Yes absolutely I’m on the verge of a new chapter
Managing fatigue and balance and waking up muscles not used in anger for 3 years, plus walking is the most complete exercise for a man or woman and I am loving it.

My thoughts exactly Lorraine, it is liberating but I keep thinking I’ve left my stick somewhere. What a Burke

That’s nothing @mrfrederickson, I still panic that I’ve not got my school hat on whenever I a board a bus, and I left school 45yrs ago 
Outstanding Lorraine a site to see if you were pictured in that outfit and it made it to Facebook

It’s finding that I use my stick for things like door closing and other reach things so miss it a bit when I’m walking without it in the house

You too. Mine comes in very handy to help close doors especially with my frozen shoulder & not being able to stretch my arm out to reach
