So, two weeks complete. Today we spent mostly talking. We have gotten to know each other well, and the stories of the other participants are so interesting. This morning after breakfast, a group of us sat at the table and talked for two hours. After lunch several of us sat again for more than an hour just visiting and listening to each other. I talked with Grandma and Kim on FaceTime after I got back to my room, and finally spent some time working on the "R" in NewStart (remember? it's Rest).
This evening we watched a video by a motivational speaker named David Ring. The program is called Triumph Over Odds. His back story is that he was born with cerebral palsy and lost his parents to cancer about four years apart during his early teen years. His message is about choosing to be a winner in life, and illustrates his case with his life story. After the film was over, we had another gab fest. So today, instead of using my walking muscles, I have exercised my aural and verbal skills.
In only five more days I will be headed home with all my new knowledge and skills to begin the rest of my journey to health and fitness. I will need all your support even more after I get home. Thank you in advance for that. I love you all. Good Night.
