Over the hump
I’m officially over that half way through the year hump. Am I glad? Hell yeah! I’m very impressed with myself that yesterday was actually a not so bad day. Yeah at 7:10am I was reminded of everything that went down 6 months ago but I never shed a tear. I remembered Gary and went on with my day like it was any other day. That’s totally what he would have wanted me to do too. He was never big on dwelling on what a day meant. Whether it be a stupid holiday like Valentine’s Day or even a birthday, to Gary a day was just a day.
What I learned yesterday……you really need to appreciate each and every day that you are given because you are NOT guaranteed a tomorrow. So why bother being depressed? Would you really want to be sad on your last day on earth? I know I don’t want to, so that’s why I chose NOT to be sad yesterday. And I’ll continue with that thinking because I full on know how precious life is and how quickly it can be taken away from you.

Last year I told Gary that I'd raise $1k at the 2010 walk, please help me reach my goal. This year Gary is one of the Honored Heroes for the walk so its even extra special to me. :) Just click on the Sponsor Me image to be taken to my fundraising page. Thank you!!!
Help me get to my 1st Half Marathon in Walt Disney World where I will run in memory of Gary :)
Thanks for this.
It’s easy to get caught up in the negative stuff. I know I tend to lose sight of what’s important and this post sort of snapped me back to reality.
lots of hugs, sam!
