What a wonderful day

The weather is still so beautiful. My first 5K is coming up this Saturday. I am a little nervous, but looking forward to crossing that finish line. I want to be able to really savor the feeling. I hope I can accurately describe it. Angela Reinhardt did a terrific job on the article for the paper. I feel a little like a celebrity having my picture and story on the front cover of the newspaper. It was an odd feeling and I think I got a little taste of notoriety. I just hope that this article helps someone like Stephanie helped me. She was absolutely confident without wavering that I could do a 5K. Yes I will walk it, but I will finish it. I loved how Angela painted a picture with her words. She really captured our personalities, goals and gave great exposure to the 5K. I had no idea that it would be the cover story. I think she enjoyed surprising us with that. I look forward to doing a follow up article down the road. I have known for years that God would use my story, my struggles and my issues for HIS good and to help and lift up others.
