It's strange looking back over the story so far. This illness has cost a lot, in more ways than one. So far it has cost me three years of mothering, the first three years of my second marriage, three years worth of maintaining friendships (it's a wonder I have any friends left!), three years of earning potential for both my husband and myself.... and that's all before we start counting the cost of endless supplements, herbal remedies, doctor's bills.. I could go on, but, hey! Who wants to think only of the
downside...? What about all the good things... I can now type faster! I can make websites! I know a little (teeny, tiny) bit about graphics. Let's face it, before I had this illness I didn't know a Mac from a PC... And more importantly what about all the fantastic people I have met online??? That must count for a lot. I could get all negative again and say how much I regret the way I have neglected those friendships too, but ... I won't bother. Life is too short for regret. Anyway... what are we here for again? Ahhh, that's right. We're supposed to be heading back to Alice Springs. Hmmm - tricky. I feel like saying, " BORING...", but that wouldn't be any good would it! If the tourguide is bored, how will the travellers feel. What's my problem?? I've lost focus, lost momentum, that's what. Right at this moment I can hardly remember where Alice Springs is, let alone conjure up vivid word pictures for you so that we can set off on our Adventures together again. Oh the limitations of being spontaneous! I need to be in the mood... Perhaps I should pack the project away in the too-hard box again and forget it for a while longer. No-one would even know I'd typed this page, except Grant who saw it a minute ago.. but he wouldn't tell anyone.... It's tempting, veerry tempting... But, then how will we ever get back to Adelaide to catch up with the family, and go on our trip up the 'river' to see Ted and Maurine at Berri? If I keep putting it off like this, we'll all be in our well-earned graves before I manage to fly us out of Alice Springs airport. It's a dilemma, I tell ya... Tell you what, I'll just go and think about it alone for a minute while you look at some cute koala pictures. These are some of the cutest koalas you're ever likely to see, and I should know! @(*O*)@ Click
