[ 632 ] The day started a bit late for me as I completed my task of doing my grocery shopping and other things. Walking out of the supermarket and paying for a few things including one almighty large piece of rump steak that was on special, I thought how good is this. After packing all the things away, I got straight into that steak ad with a salad and other things, I managed to devour that steak leaving my very pleased with that purchase of meat. Eating that large piece of meat, actually brought back a flood of memories when I was a kid growing up and mum used to buy that same type of meat for us. I remember that we used to eat that meat at least 4 times a week, along with home made soups and salads and stuff. I grew up on what I ate today, but as I usually purchase the meat that is on special [ aint got the big bucks for the high priced stuff at the moment ], I have not ate the rump steak that I ate today for a while. Maybe all the other people shopping get the good stuff before I a there. Who knows, but after finishing that meal, I walked heaps today to try and get circulation back into the muscles that have been affected and am very pleased to say that the muscle mass has started to return to what I used to have it before 4 weeks ago but the pains are still there. Just putting all of my body weight onto the right leg traps the nerves somehow while walking and thats where the pains come from. But with more muscle mass starting to come back to my leg now, I am hoping for the pains to start diminishing soon as well. The other good news, is that while laying on y back flat on the floor, I am now able to raise my leg almost vertically, as 2.5 weeks ago or so, I was not able to even lift my leg even an inch [ 25 mm ]. So the feel good vibes in me are starting to return to me again and am becoming a happy camper again. My journey during the last 12 months have been similar to a roll-a-caster ride, as I have been struck down several times and then required to rebuild my health and body again. This is just another one of those instances, but the direction that I am heading in is positive and am feeling great about it. Tomorrow, I will get out and about again while trying out a different location so as to try and not to attract too much attention. This is part of my life while living on the streets as it is not the normal routine that people would do as these are the things that I need to do for now. But tomorrow will be Christmas day and I would like to take this opportunity to say a Merry Christmas to all the people all over the world and hope that everyone will have a great day. It will not be the same for everyone as there may be people suffering in Hospital somewhere, living on the streets and on their own, doing it tough somewhere, working most of the day, people that may be away from loved ones and the people that are doing it hard all over the world somewhere, have a great Merry Christmas and remain positive at all times. Never give up and never think that it will be tough for you guys all of the time because a negative mind is a narrow mind. Being positive will broaden ones mind and then will offer opportunities that a narrow mind may not have seen. Always back yourselves while trying to create a never say die attitude. Personally, I have conditioned myself to the life that I am living at the moment and for me, it was adapt or die as becoming negative was never going to help my cause for the future that I have started planning for. But in saying all that, there will be many people having a great day with family and loved ones and I wish every single one of you guys and great day as well. Working for the whole year would have given many people the opportunity to plan a holiday or do things and why not. Have fun as the day is celebrating the birth of Jesus that then made him become one of the most known person for over the last 2000 years. I would also like to mention Merry Christmas to MHB as she has been the main reason for my change for the better, as I put it, as I continue with my rehabilitation tomorrow. Sure, I would love to have been able to e with MHB, but I am not and I will still make a call next year to wish her a Great New Year. Making a call to only wish her a Merry Christmas left an opening in the door for me to wish her a great new year next year. For reasons that are unbeknown to me, I seem to have connected with her in ways that I have never done like this with anyone else in my life. At least thanking her for being in a place and at a time that I was also in, will be high on my agenda to do as I have not done that till now. I love her heaps because meeting her has improved me heaps and I can only thank her for that. I can also say a lot more but will reframe myself for doing that for now. Time to hit it as I am looking at another small meal to eat soon and then having a good nights sleep. Peace, love and good health to all the good guys and gals. John P. Novello
