Dear readers
How long has it been since everything was covered in snow for such a long time here in northern Germany? It was so cold that I couldn’t get around in my wheelchair and hand bike and had to cancel all my training appointments.
Around February 20, the temperatures rose every day, reaching up to 18 °C (64.4 °F). That was an incredible change in temperature.
In Germany, we have a children’s song with the following lyrics
Farewell, winter!
Parting is painful.
But your departure
makes my heart rejoice.
Farewell, winter!
Parting is painful.
Even though I love the white landscape, I was so happy to be able to go back to training. I had been out of action for so long.
I was also very happy that I was still able to maintain many of my weights on the equipment. This means I can continue to build on that.
However, I made good use of the time and continued working on my new book. It will cover many interesting topics. I already wrote briefly about my elevator conversation during my rehab about the soul. Here is a small excerpt in advance:
“The soul is definitely something that we cannot directly grasp physically or see with our eyes. We all know that we sometimes say of a person that he or she is a good soul, but what do we mean by that? Or we also say that he or she is a soul of a human being. Or we say she is a good soul, or conversely, she is a poor soul. So it seems that we can see or perceive something, otherwise how would we come to that conclusion?”
Have you ever thought about this topic?
In this way, I always move forward, in accordance with the title of my book: Forward—Giving Up Is Not an Option.
I truly wish everyone to always find a way forward, even though fate sometimes seems to indicate that it is not meant to be. Then it is all the more important not to give up, because you never know if a solution is just around the corner.
I wish everyone all the best and always a confident time, even if things are a little turbulent at the moment.
Warm regards
Eugen
