Many random thoughts now entering into the picture as the big day fast approaches. Mostly good and exciting. But one can't help to be nervous and scared. Who wouldn't be? First, second or third, it just doesn't matter. What the future brings~if you are married or single? This is life and I am just a manager of it. Someone told me, make some plans and God will chuckle. How true is that. How much say do we really have? Not really sure, but I have done some homework and did some observing.
I don't believe that we are in it to be alone. I think we all need a little help. I do believe that those who are in your life right now, are there to teach or be taught. I do believe that at times we are the teacher and the student. Sometimes it is hard to figure out which one it is. I do believe that the roles do reverse and reverse again. I do believe that if you don't face things head on that they will come back again. Maybe when your stronger to fight. Or maybe when you except the fight that will not go away. I do believe that seeds are given everyday. I also believe that we have the power to plant them or not. I do believe that there is good in everyone but some choose not to let it out. I do believe that "tone" is important and I have to work on it. I do believe that a touch can make it all better at least for the moment. I do believe that that is something that we all lack and don't do enough. I do believe that life is short...Are you where you want to be and who you want to be with?
Early morning thoughts on a dark and rainy day!

Thank God For Rain...
Just done from a 3 and halfer, thanking God right now for 61 and rain instead of 71 and 100% humidity. ugh its hot out there!
Not too Much Singing...
Well pouring rain not an option to not running a race. In fact I prefer to run in less than 65 degrees and rain more than 80 and sun. It is refreshing and exhilarating. I still prefer morning running to nite time. I seem to have all my energy stored up. I truly believe that goes true for morning people. Get my work done so that in the evening I can relax.
Races to me have become something I do. It is definitely not about winning because I don't care. I need to finish and that is what it has always been about. Why enter a race? Well it is fun to see all the people doing what you enjoy also. I always go through the nervousness of it all. The sick stomach and "oh I got to go pee again feelin". It is great when it is done.
Joe has been great too. I know he didn't want to run this last one but he did. I am grateful to have a partner in my life that wants to be apart of my world. When we first started this journey together, he said if I help him with his physical journey, he will help me with my spiritual. And we have both held true to both!
Not sure but I think that Big Mac is the next race. Unless we decide to do one at spur of the moment. I can't wait! I am excited. I am preparing by running at least 3 to 3 and half miles 4-6X a week. I am watching my sugars. Trying to grab more of the garden stuff. I want to trim off 5 more before that day. It is a struggle but every morning is a new start. Well off to a run today. It is early and want to get it in before church. Thanks for all your support through this journey that I continue on. It is all worth it. It is my life.

Life lessons
Sharing what seems important to us and not that important to our children, or is it? Do you think they record the things we say and save it for when it is important? Do you think they store it in their mind to bring it up and use it in the future? I wonder. Did I?
Looking back I wasn't a bad kid. I was pretty practical. I had a good head on for the most part. I think all us kids did. I wonder as the children get older, will the same follow suit? Do some parents get "lucky" just because or does the whole growing up in a good structure really help? I think both come into play. I know that we have to instill the goods but there is that choice thing. I think a lot of prays come in handy.
We as a whole family have adapted praying before meals. We use to do it before Joe but not consist. So last nite when Joe was not here for dinner, the eldest son before digging in says aren't we going to pray? And we did. That was a wonderful thing. Life is good only if we let it!
