"Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning" - Mahatma Gandhi

A quick update

Lots has been going on in the last couple of weeks. I didn't run the Sun Run and will not be going to Ixtapa next week. Lots to look forward to this summer without making a mess of it right now.

We start open water swimming tomorrow and I'm hoping (*fingers crossed*) that it's going to be non-wetsuit temperatures in Thetis...ok, maybe not...but it should be warmer than last year given the mild winter we've had.

I've also been working on getting my deck cleaned up and ready for some summer use. Today I bought a softwood deck chair and built it up to find that I'd done it incorrectly. Instead of fixing it, I just varnished the pieces to weather-proof it all. Tomorrow I'll take out the 20 screws and put it together properly. Canada's worst handyman? Maybe.

I was listening to this on Friday and enjoyed the beautiful weather we've had this week in Victoria:
