So right! Beautiful words. I'm also more of a jalopy type of gal!

Betreff: weekend activity & a little blue

well I played flag football again this

weekend. I pulled a groin muscle the first

play :-( I planted one foot and pushed off

and felt and heard the pop....) But we were

6 on 6 with one sub so I played most of the

game taking it as easy as possible and blocking

more than running.

I walked about half an hour Saturday and Sunday

and today I don't hurt at all. My mom and stepfather

are leaving for Africa Friday and will be gone till

October so we were packing boxes for a couple hours

yesterday.

It's kind of crazy because I'm as big as I've ever

been but I'm as active or even MORE active now.

I feel strong and have decent endurance... I just

jiggle a bit more when I jump.

I guess my philosophy is that I have lots more to do

(God willing) while in this body so I want to keep

it as functional as possible. At the end of my life

I'd rather race in, skid to the curb, bounce a little

and say, " whew, what a ride " No nice neat parallel

parking for me and I imagine I'll be more of a jalopy

or beat up mini van than a sleek corvette and i'm ok

with that so long as I feel good about the journey I

completed.

Wow! Where'd that all come from?? Guess I'm feeling a

bit mortal today (as compared to the super-mom mode I

try to function at daily)I just found out Thursday that

I have another aunt just diagnosed with breast cancer

(stage 4 metastatic)Some of you might remember, I just

lost another aunt (different side of the family) last

fall after a very short fight (about 11 or 12 months).

So I'm very aware none of us are guaranteed tomorrow.

Yesterday is history

and tomorrow is a mystery

but today is a gift

That's why it's called the present.

Let's all remember each day has endless possibilites for

making this world a little better by our words, acts and

priorites.
