Hello my lovely readers
This will be another relatively short post, as I still don't quite have my words back - but I suppose that makes sense.
How does one linguistically encapsulate a pretty small period of time in which there was a conference, a funeral, a charity haircut and a snap general election, as well as dates of both personal and political significance (from the first anniversary of the Orlando tragedy to the birthdays and anniversaries of several of my dear departed friends)?
In the lengthy ramble of a (probably grammatically incorrect) sentence, it turns out - i.e. not very well. So, instead of boring you with either my emotional rollercoaster or the strategies I've used to power through, I'm offering you a photo as evidence that I've managed to do so. Somehow I've found a semblance of resilience, hence the title of this post. I'll leave it to you to work out what is different about me (not my new hair!) though I will say it has to do with physical support structures, and straps...!
And I'll end with a sincere thank you for my emotional support structures, too, of which you readers make up a significant part. I'm so very grateful to have you along with me, both on this specific 'marathon' mission and in my life more generally. You are just wonderful and so generous in every way. I'm overwhelmed with the support for my Parallel London walk thus far - if you'd like to read my fundraising story for Starlight, you can click here.
Love and gratitude until next week
