Dirty Dash

If you know me then you know I love to run. Ok, perhaps its not running, it more of a fast jog with some walking thrown in. It's my theapy. During my many miles of travel by foot I've always wanted my children there to share the experience with .... today I got my wish (for a second time since I've taken up the sport!)

But I had special company today!

Ian completed his FIRST 10K .... and thanks to Heather we had a cheering section!

This was no ordinary 10K though ... this was a muddy, obstacle course extravaganza.

1 - 2 - 3 JUMP!

How often does your mom let you jump in mud puddles .... and how often does she join you?

It was a GREAT day .... Now .... I NEED a shower!!!

How long?

1095 days...
26280 hours...
1576800 minutes...

and it still feels like only yesterday....

A New Day

This is the beginning of a new day!

I have been given this day to use as I will.

I can waste it, or use it.

I can make it a day long to be remembered for its joy,
its beauty and its achievements,
or it can be filled with pettiness.

What I do today is important because
I am exchanging a day of my life for it.

When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever,
but I shall hold something which I have traded for it.

It may be no more than a memory, but if it is a worthy one
I shall not regret the price.

I want it to be gain not loss, good not evil, success not failure.

when are we strong enough?

Ever hear the saying

"what does not kill you will only make you stronger"?

Who the hell said that?

Why do we have to be stronger?

When are we strong enough?
