I really don’t want to fly, but over the last (almost) three months I have found humour and even encouragement in the cute little Aussie cartoon which hits my inbox every day.
Sometimes, and I have said this in my blog, I have even felt that the cartoonist has been looking over my shoulder.
A few weeks ago there appeared the following group of cartoons in a mini series. The lead was played by Ding Duck “the world’s worst flying student. After or in spite of 5397 flying lessons at last count, he still can’t fly”.
One would think that people would read, laugh and then move on. But no ... some Swamp watchers decided to offer suggestions to the poor little duck.
Even Ding has encouragers.
Click and read.

I am not running a marathon yet; and there have been times when I have sat in the corner and sucked my thumb, but it seems that, at those times there has been a pick me up from someone. No names as you know who you are. Well maybe you don’t realize the support you have provided. Just as I haven’t always realized the progress I have made and have had to do a few checks and balances to realize.
When you live in the body you are sometimes just too close to notice and it takes those checks and balances or someone to remind you.
As I almost reach the three month mark after a major operation that has become a turning (walking?) point in my life I would like to thank my supporters from all around the world. Who would have thought even a few years ago that you would receive encouragement, get well cards and you can do it cards from places as diverse as my comments and emails have come from.
THANK YOU! And really, it is a small world after all.
Oh, and yes thank you http://www.swamp.com.au/

Just flap your arms and go for it!
Look how far you have come, hop-a-long!
I expect to be seeing photos of you doing the can-can sometime in the near future.
So a later post should be I Can Can ... I really Can?
When I returned to work, my boss named me Happy Hoppy - she reckoned the pain had gone from my eyes and I was a different person... and a girlfriend says she will be booking salsa lessons for me!
Now I HAVE to keep up the bloody exercises to live up to all those expectations!
;-)
I love these cartoons you share - Ding and his little 'L' :D I'm all for not ever giving up. One day at a time, one step/flap at a time!

Thanks!
Humour keeps you going when you're down, if you let it and I particularly like this cartoonist.
Very Australian, but that can be reassuring too, cause sometimes it's closer.
He has lots of other cute characters, if you go to the site.
You'll soon be dancing, girl!
Peter will have to be like the strong cloud tossing you up in the air! ;-0
he has been trying to get rid of me for years! maybe I will get caught in an updraft - tee hee - I'll be in trouble now!
(off topic) Thanks for stopping by my blog this morning - I saw your comment, but blogger (or maybe it was my email tool) ate it when I tried to publish. Sorry! I wasn't ignoring you :) ... I'm off to restart my computer before I blow anything else up...
