It's the little things



Today is day 261.
Through everything I am still running.
It really is the little things that help us through the difficult times in life.


I spent the weekend finishing this blanket for S'ghetti girl.  She had been waiting a very long time.  It reminded me that it doesn't take much to make a child happy.  They want to be happy. 
Some grownups are the same way.  They want to be happy.
It doesn't take much to put a smile on their face.
I am one of those people.
It doesn't take much to make me happy.
So despite the rough road, I have been running.  Then yesterday morning I decided to take a risk. 
A leap of faith that might just make me happy.

I entered a lottery

The Bull Run Run 50 Miler

    Hey, I hear some of what's not being said... and while I have no idea of what's going on, I..... well, I just hope you're OK, that your kiddos are OK, and that whatever "funk" life has handed over these days is behind you as quickly as possible.
