This is Peanut Butter Brickle. Some days, I think of how strong I am. How many miles I’ve traveled. How many lessons I’ve learned.
Some days I think of such good memories. And I feel stronger for them.
But some days, the weak parts of me try to overcome the strong parts. They don’t care that they are weak. They think they can make me forget who I am. What I have accomplished in life. And they want me to not try. That’s a little how I felt yesterday. I didn’t feel my strongest.
And I was mad about it. So when I get mad, I get madder. I get frustrated. And sometimes, I let those weak days get me down. I’m just like anyone else. I can’t be strong like espresso all of the time.
I know that’s surprising to some. But life has taught me thru trials and many errors that every day has a new set of challenges. Every day has a new set of variables. A decision made today may be different than tomorrow. Because we have new information. Because we learn. And my persons have learned that too.
Traveling in an RV all of those years camping taught us many things. How to live more simply. How to live without. How to recognize the importance of nature and the animals. How to try to make the world better by giving back. And not just taking all of the time.
So now that we are here in Italy and have the project of our little house, our resolve has already been built thru many trails and errors. And we hope to take the strong parts of ourselves to accomplish and enjoy this journey.
The fact is, we can’t get everything done at once. But we can get one thing done at a time. Boy Person will be working on the path again today. So that the next time they take me up, next week, I don’t have to leave my house.
I may be strong. But I want to be strong on my terms. When I want to be strong. And my persons don’t want to force me to be stronger than what I want to be. They want me to have choices.
. Thru trials and many errors with me and with Digby and with other individuals in their lives, they know this. That I will do anything they ask me. But they want me to have that choice.
Right now, we all choose to get to our house next week. Rentals are comfortable. But they are not ours.
We need the basics. But that’s all any of us need. Happiness isn’t determined by the things that go right in our lives. It’s thru trials and many errors that bring us where we need to be.
Even the persons learning to speak another language is a part of this. This is all new to all of us. It’s not easy. It’s very hard. But we very much want to do this.
Now for mission impossible. Which is possible. Because I deem it to be be.
And I’ll save and use my strength to get me there. And my persons too.
