It's obvious you're going through some really hard stuff, but your attitude and perseverance is amazingly inspiring to me. I keep wanting to tell you that after every post I read, but I forget, so I'll say it here :) I know good things will come your way.Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-87464329746879568162010-07-11T16:59:46.815-07:002010-07-11T16:59:46.815-07:00Hey, LSL.

Besides...you're balancing on the rambunctious stuff now! That whitewater is bumpier than wave faces. So whenever you're ready for wave slide, the ride might feel smoother and, in that regard, easier. At least it feels dreamier for me! --DownHere (P.S. I did the dumbbell thing. Speaking for myself, I gotta say push-ups feel more effective. Who knows.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-78168945024912107472010-07-11T01:15:31.805-07:002010-07-11T01:15:31.805-07:00Girl, you got up at 6:15am to get out there....

Best laid plans...But this sounds like that despite the deep, dark feelings there was a shift (Can't wait to hear about it!). There's always a shift. It's just the feeling through it all that makes time feel like its dragging. <br /><br />I am mostly in my head too, sister.Sizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182860438430294750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-46185359568611366222010-07-10T03:09:51.850-07:002010-07-10T03:09:51.850-07:00Aww...

I'm glad it ended better for you with a chance for a heart-to-heart with Jules. <br /><br />As for your progress-envy, you know too well that it would be silly to quit because someone else learned faster than you. You get SO much out of surfing and you're taking things at a pace that is right for you. As you say, you have a lot of other stuff going on right now, and that either affected your "mojo" or was the real stuff behind your feelings of despair.<br /><br />I'm glad you post the frustrating stories as well as the transcendent ones.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15270177252139637687noreply@blogger.com
