As I said in my last post, I am resuming my challenge now my tribunal and course are out of the way. I have a few updates for you.
Tribunal
So I didn’t go out today. As I predicted my leg was in a fair amount of pain (still is) so wearing any sort of bottoms was out of the question. This feels like such a cop out and a really lame excuse, but honestly it isn’t. If I were a little more defeatist I would probably take this falling at the first hurdle as a sign. But I won’t. I will go out tomorrow, even if it’s only to the local shop (three minute walk, just about bearable).
While I don’t ‘believe’ in this kind of thing, I do like to read my horoscope from time to time. I read this weekly one in a magazine (Nov 5th – 11th) :
You’re ready to wipe the slate clean and let go of the past. Take any challenges in your stride and keep an open mind.
And this daily one on my phone (Nov 6th):
There is a bright side to a dark situation, Scorpio, but you may not see it. That’s because you have focused so closely on the gloomy aspects of a recent problem that your eyes have begun to see the light. The glare of daylight hurts your eyes because you have grown so accustomed to the darkness. You are almost afraid to hope. But you need to hope, and you need to believe that your challenge is conquerable. Start allowing yourself to gravitate toward signs of hope, because the more positive you become, the faster you will resolve what’s bothering you.
Like I said, I don’t believe in horoscopes so much, but I do think that some things happen for a reason. And that maybe, just maybe, we read a certain horoscope at a certain time because we’re meant to. And if I can find meaning in some vague prediction in a random magazine, who am I hurting?
