LO of photo sent to me by my DD recently. Journaling reads:
Exuberant, vibrant, happy-go-lucky: only you could reach for the sky in a place where youd been so cold in your tent at night that youd barely slept - and spent the days walking round a huge lake in a desolate landscape where the only sound was the tinkling of the ice as it thawed and refroze. And all of that on a diet on potatoes, rice and mares milk which was (understandably) all that could be found for a vegetarian! So the next time Im feeling grumpy at life, cross because Im tired, fed-up with events that dont go my way, Im going to look at this and think: dyou know what? Get over yourself. In the midst of it all, it can be a Happy Journey. And thank your lucky stars you have a
daughter to remind you!
Thank-you for looking...
