@Maggie94 That was the Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale another of his that I like and have always thought is "You can if you think you can" which I always turned around when speaking to my kids...."If you think you can or you think you can't your right"....I saw Norman Vincent Peale preach many times...

Feeling mega normal
Morning of doing tasks round the house + the daily "walk" and cycle routine and up and down the 14 stairs about 6 times. Friend arrived from interstate to stay for 10 days and we caught up over lunch. Then I was dropped at the hair dresser for a make over....boy oh boy I can't believe what the anesthetic and drugs do to hair. I had foils, a blissful shampoo & condition and a treatment followed by the best cut - love my HD, she is the best
Left after 3 hours feeling absolutely fabulous - hair back to its crowning glory.
Home for roast beef dinner with a good Shiraz and lots of gossip. Fantastic day. Knees are being good. In bed not (9.15pm) icing and catching up on the net. Way to go. Hope y'all had a great day too - Maggie x

Sandra and I are off to Canberra today (capital of Australia and the city I grew up in - about 220miles; 300km). My mother broke her hip last Sunday so we are driving down so I can visit her in hospital. Well stay over night - me with very old and dear friends Barry & Penny (I have a picture of Baz and i aged 4 at school together
) and Sandra will stay with her son and family who live about a mile away. Back home on Sunday afternoon/evening to be ready for rehab at 9am Monday.
That's my weekend - hope everyone has something nice planned - cheers Maggie x

I hope your weekend goes well, Maggie.
Be prepared for your knees to swell during that long drive - take gel packs, or some other means of icing.

Have a safe trip and love to your Mom for a quick and speedy recovery. Will she have to have her hip replaced? I hope you make plenty of stops to get out and stretch the girls and enjoy your time with your family and friends.
