Chapter 29: A change of pace.

I sit by the river, in the shade of a gum

Watching the river float by, twinkling in the sun.

I hear the piping of the birds and the lullaby of the leaves

As the scent of the wattle settles over me.

I relax on the grass, lying on the bank

And silently think about who I have to thank

For the strength that runs through my veins with ease

And the determination that set my will free.

‘MICHELLE BRIDGES’ the air around me cries

‘12 Week transformation’ hum the dragonflies

A reflection ripples in the calm water

Queen Mish’s face is there wreathed in laughter.

“ I gave you the tools, the plan and advice

 But YOU did the work and paid the price.

YOU reap the reward of new healthy lifestyles”

Queen Mish told me with the biggest of smiles.

Now armed with new mantras like JFDI

I hit my stride and found I could fly

I have biceps and triceps, glutes and quads

And so many more, who knew the odds?

The rest of my life lies before my feet

Much like the river flowing to the sea

My options are endless, only contained by me

And I intend to explore every possibility.
