Oh this is a good one for me. At 71, I still walk the same 30 minutes a day, but I don't often get as far as I used to. So I say "I'm just meandering today. " I think of Dory the 🐟 fish, and say, "Just keep moving, just keep moving..." Pushing Arthur 🫸 away from me!

I like your Four words! May I borrow them sometimes?

'Go at your pace' really resonates with me, Julie. It's hard to remember sometimes, right? I'm very much an all-or-nothing person - I'm either going full-tilt at whatever new thing of the moment has grabbed my attention (and, in the case of my inevitably short-lived running career, getting injured literally every time I left the house in training shoes), or I'm doing nothing due to fear of failure! I yearn for a happy medium, honestly!

Dad has always told me - and still tells me these days, too, for which I'm very grateful - 'Plough your own furrow'. I take that with me always.
