One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove more than 10 hours in the Icelandic winter whilst jetlagged and barely able to see past 10 feet in some areas to arrive in beautiful Isafjordur (from Reykjavik).
And then drove back the next day.
Actually come to think of it, it was terrible planning on my part.

Teach, Learn, Share

A favorite quote of mine is:
Men are not prisoners of fate, they are only prisoners of their own minds - FDR

It is very true, and something I also need reminding myself time and time again.
