New Challenges...

This taking on my job, I have come to realize I have always been a goal settler... One of goals I had attempted to continue with was running... Last spring, I made an effort to run every week day and honestly I felt great doing it! With the events of last year, illnesses and deaths, I lost my way... So my work has added some physically challenges to fundraising... Patrick Brown and I, as well as several others, are doing the scotia bank marathon in October, I am going to be a member of the Pirates of Epilepseas for Dragon boat and I will participating in Fighters for Fighting, through Results 360... Guess who had to start training... May 1st is the cut off, and this girl will be attending morning boot camp Monday-Thursday at 6 am every morning.. My friends Tiny and Gary are going to whip me into shape and teach me how to fight! Who would have thought this 360lb girl from downtown Sundridge would have ever made it this far? Inspiration goes such a long way, what will you do with yours today?

When is too soon...

Over the past year I have heard everyone's opinion about how life should proceed... I ask this, who are we go give these opinions? Really... I can remember early in my marriage having a discussion with my husband about death and if after death... My responses were simple, if I go first cremate me and put my urn in the dining room so he and his new 22 year old wife can have dinner with me every night , and then when he goes bury me with you. The biggest thing, was please move on and live. His message was the same. Don't wallow and sit around and wait for me to come back because I am not.. The only stipulation we both had was move forward and be happy. I think that when tragedy happens people have a preconceived notion about how to move on and time frame. There is no right or wrong when it comes to moving on. Did I love him, yes... Do I miss him, yes... Is he coming back, no... Is there room in my heart for someone else, yes... No one should judge anyone else, they don't know what your going through because they haven't walked a mile in your shoes..
