Does a muscle grow strong by being allowed to rest... to recline on a comfy chair? or would it become stronger by joining a boot camp? And what if the person running the boot camp detected a bit of potential in a particular participant? Would they let this person have it easy? or would that person be worked a bit harder then the rest? It would seem understandable that the person who is naturally a bit stronger than the rest be worked a bit harder so that they could maximise their potential.
Cause I can't say it as well as she can! I always remember this when I get down about the rather crappy journey DF and I are on, albiet shorter than others (touch wood), to hold a bundle of our very own. It makes me feel better, like what we're going through all of this for a purpose and not just because we have crappy luck.

Sending you all my love, chick! It's hard, but like you said, you can do it! xx
