Jonathan Walsh's Journal, 29 May 2015

Good morning gang. Still having internet issues at home, so sorry about being disconnected & sporadic, but on to today.

Showed up to work, beaten up & down trodden this morning. Then I signed on to enter my food / calories from dinner & breakfast. Low & behold, there is Victoria Egypt, swinging her lantern out over the mountain side with her journal entry from yesterday. It gave me a little boost. A spark to at least get the amber's of my dying fire re-lit this morning. And as I ventured into all the chatter I have been missing, there was my community of climbers all up & down the mountain side spreading support, knowledge, sympathy, lessons, learn, & just plain 'ole compassion.

I read many of your words over the past few days. Jillzee, Red, JMB, STT, Cat Herder, HCB, BB, Gwen, Ms. Bug, Pink, Victoria, Matt, Glen, Izzy, MeOhMy, Sugar Cat, Letty, Midnight Oil; there are so many & I am short on time, so please don't think I am leaving you out. I am just trying to make a point. You climbers, you legion of climbers are pulling my weight at this moment. You are keeping me abreast.

You legion of climbers of mountains are the secret to my success. You legion, builders of this community, are the reason this works. Your compassion, your insight, your knowledge, your light; provides the spark that shines through the darkness and penetrates the fog.

I often say, we are leaving no one behind. The truth in those words have never rang louder than in my my ears, when I was the one not being left behind. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

Every time we fell there was your hand to pull us out of the ditch and keep us going, now all of our hands are here to carry you out and keep you with us, guideing our way to the top. You are a real inspiration and motivator and if we can return the help in some small way we will. Keep smiling and doing your thing! :-D

One foot in front of the other... Up the trail on the big mountain. If you climb a mountain and no one is with you to see it, did you climb the mountain? No one climbs alone!

One of the very cool things about participating here is that there is a real sense of community and that we're all in this together. It's real. Hang in there Jon, let's make the day a good one.

We got your back, new Jon. It does help to know people are trying for better health every day. You can be part of it just a moment at a time. Think of one step in front of the other and push head.

John, You have been with me since day ONE! The very moment I walked up to the foot of this mountain you were there. Blazing a trail. Showing me the possibilities of success. You have always been positive and up lifting even when things were rough for you. I always look forward to what you have to say, and think. As you told me once "I feel yours words in my soul". You are my brother in arms and my friend in this climb. I appreciate you!

What a great post! You put into words what I think a lot of us have felt before. I've had days too, that I just didn't have any motivation or I didn't care, and then I come on here and read a positive journal or even someone else who's struggling and realize I'm not in this alone and even though we're all different, we're all ultimately here for the same things. Knowing that we have others to help us through this journey, even if it's not face to face, can be a great help on those down days. Good luck to you!!

Jon, I hope your day has improved. If not, I will all be glad to lift you up for this part of the climb. You have done the same for me, for us, on plenty of occasions. :)

You all make this great. You all make this work. This is an group effort driven by one factor; individual passion. Your passion to succeed, creates the compassion to never let a teammate fail. You are an amazing group of people. I stand here on the side of this mountain in awe of you. Today has been the best day I have had in quit some time. Thank you.
