I Took a Short Break

I know it's been a long time since I posted and I could say I was really busy, but the truth is, I just didn't feel like it.  After the 5K, I ran some high fevers and got sick again and then I was feeling a little let down.  You know the feeling, the one you get on December 26th.  Same thing and I haven't known what to do with myself.  I came to the realization that, running isn't the best thing for me.  I don't know if my age has taken over or just the ramifications of the transplant, but it isn't working for me.  It's a shame because I really enjoyed the training and I'm sad that it is over.  I have friends who are runners and they are doing awesome things, so I'll live vicariously through them.....and be really jealous.  Run Forrest Run!  Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

I may change the name of the blog, but I haven't decided yet.  I really hope that anyone who is following me, will continue to stay tuned.  I'm sure I have more adventures ahead of me, so together we can see where life takes me from here.  I think I'm in a transitional time in my life again and I'm looking forward to something new.  Hmmm, this could be interesting.  Maybe I'll finally figure out what I want to be when I grow up.  We know Olympic athlete is out, so on to the next. Sports bra sales person?  Trash hauler?  Teen pregnancy counselor?  For those of you reading this blog for the first time, you need to read previous posts to get the inside jokes. 

Here's what I'm up to now:

Helping my friend Michael with his college groups' fundraiser.  It's going to be a brunch and we had a good time planning it last year so I'm sure it will be fun again.

I'm part of a committee who are putting together a fundraising event for Be the Match, which is the national bone marrow registry.  People don't realize that it costs money to go into the registry, so we are going to do our best to get tons of money so more lives are saved.  More details will follow about the event in the near future.  We have a meeting tomorrow.

Next week, I will begin the planning for the 5th annual Walk of Honor.  This is an event, that my husband and I put together, to honor all veterans, past, present and future, for their service.  If you want to see what it's all about you can visit, www.walkofhonor.us , and there are videos of previous years.  It will hold a special significance this year because our son is deploying. Please keep all of our service members in your prayers.  Oops, I'm getting teary, so time to change the subject..

Hopefully I will stop being lazy and I will be posting more frequently.  The road may still be bumpy and like I said in the past, I'm going to be as real as possible, so buckle up.
