So smart. You always made smart, thoughtful, well-reasoned decisions (that's right, boss - I know from personal experience). The universe sent you a message and you took it in and made the right choice (IMHO), even though it must have been an emotionally difficult one. Things will play out and you will come up with a new plan, and it will lead to something good.
Laurie- You are wise to wait although you have been gathering all this momentum. Shingles are already a challenge and travel could be risky.
Just be well and enjoy your family♥️ Paula
Makes sense. Always good to hike safely and take care of yourself first. And the delay might mean that I could join the trek -- just need to convince my family that I can disappear for three weeks -- maybe that's why God intervened ; Plus, more time to fundraise!
The mountain will still be there waiting for whenever you all arrive. Health first, cold and altitude second! LOL I'm telling you big wave surfing is an option and Hawaii is beautiful.
