Yesterday was a busy day for me. We walked with The Martins for Ferris in the morning and then headed over to SeaWorld for the afternoon.. came home beat and tired....... Good day. I did alittle reading about this muddy buddy thing and came to the conclusion that in my present condition I could not even begin this race....... So, as of today, I am stepping it up a bit. I won't be taking chocolate out of my diet yet, or Dr. Pepper... I will cut back. I have also decided to involve Stella in the walking and Max will be riding his bike with me when I ride. I think we have a good solid 5 months to get ready. The videos will keep coming.. I am enjoying talking as I walk.. I feel like you are all with me.. even thought it makes me look odd.
But Kathy and I need your help!!!! Everytime I look, more money has been given, this really pushes both of us to see this thru. It truely gets me out the door and moving. OK, I am crying right now just thinking about this, but I am sincere. I think about all of the kids who are too sick to get out and moving and I am complaining about how tired I am when I get home from the parks.. and these kids are just happy to be alive and going to the parks with their families and then I look at my kids and I think of the parents and cannot imagine how they feel being able to go to Disney with their kids and forgetting about the hospitals and illness and the worries they all face.
Kathy and I really need everyone to get the word out about the Power of 10 and our little part we are trying to do.I know money is tight, I struggle everyday with my bills and budget, I complain every week how my kids are bleeding me dry and always asking for money.... but, you know what??? I am so happy that they are healthy and can bleed me dry, Happy that we can go to Disney and not have to worry about the unthinkable things that some families are dealing with.
Bottom line???? give if you possibly can and if you can't, give your time or encourage others to.... don't ever think that there is nothing you can do. everyone has something special in them that they can share........
I am attacking my challenge with humor and tears...... so.......
back to "MY WAY"........ I am riding my bike this afternoon..... Who will donate today? Who will show me that you care enough to keep Kathy and I moving forward to our goal of $5000?
I sound like Jerry Lewis on Labor Day.......
have a great day and hug your kids tight.
Love,
T.
