“Gumption” and chutzpah for perfect words to capture your determination.
I do use a scarf for covering when walking, not another soul insight. As a farm girl, we walked a distance to catch the bus and we lived on top of a hill. I learned how to bare the howling winds and snow, I guess that toughness stays with us even as we age.
Sleep and renew your steps tomorrow, you are a trooper.
