I am feeling much better. Due in part I`m sure to spending some quality time with my family at my beautiful sister-in-law`s parents` 50th anniversary party last night. Have I mentioned that my s-i-l is much more like a sister, than a sister through marriage. I am lucky. My brother has wonderful taste and chose another sister for me very well. And my darling nephews were just that. Darling. Fisher and River celebrated their Nana and Poppa`s anniversary in the cutest little khakis, navy sports jackets and striped ties. And my other nephew Kai was there to whoop it up with his cousins. Complete with a pair of Blundstone boots--my fav boots in the whole world. Rick and I danced to some old-timey country music, enjoyed our nephews cutting a rug and watched our parents' generation dancing--they dance so well!
And then today we ran in the Terry Fox Run with Team Running Free. I ran 7k and feel great! Sore hip and lower back feel much better after running, and spirits feel great after running for a great cause with a great group of people. I am honoured to run with our friend Lisa who has fought breast cancer, and even though she`s still undergoing "stuff", runs with a smile on her face and a positive outlook that is completely inspiring.
I'm not sure what has been going on with me lately. Like I said, moon phase, middle age or just the changing seasons. But I do know that days like today make it easier and move me from morose introspection to a sunnier happier outlook. Thank you endorphins, family and Terry Fox. I am grateful.
I am the coordinator for the school Terry Fox Run on Friday. Fingers and toes crossed for the beautiful weather we enjoyed today for our run. I am looking forward to running with the kids. And sunshine would be icing on the cake.
Now I must quit procrastinating and do the pile of marking that I have been dodging for the past week. I'm going to sit on the deck, drink a Bud Light with lime and mark away.
Wishing everyone a sunny, happy Sunday afternoon.
