CIM

So I've signed up for the CIM, and joined a training group. I started a blog to write about my experiences training, and titled it Pioneer Spirit.

I was struggling to come up with a name, and was thinking about what would be a meaningful way to note the effort involved in training, and maybe tribute mom a little. I suddenly thought of something Rosemarie had said to me in the hospital, or maybe after. She said she had asked mom how she stayed so strong and carried on with her life in the time when she was sick, but before she came to the hospital. She got very serious, and said "Its the pioneer spirit." Though I wasn't there for this conversation, I know exactly her expression and tone when she said it. It reminds me of how strong she was.

I hope to think of her strength as I train, and know that nothing I'm doing is difficult compared to what she dealt with for so long.
