the joys of living without all of your things


You know it is bad when your husband eats cereal out of a large serving bowl and a plastic fork. Gratefully it doesn't seem to bother him.

cincoK

So I ran a big bad 5k this past saturday. It was more fun than I was expecting. The crowds and cheering helped.

Mostly, I left feeling uplifted, able, and extremely blessed. This event, called the Vision 5k, was created for the visually impaired. We saw so many inspiring people and simple gestures. The visually impaired takes a guide tied at the wrist and runs with all the rest. The visually impaired man on the left here beat me. I finished 27:55.

It was a beautiful venue in Fenway Park, past the Museum of Fine Arts, and no hills most importantly. For the first time in weeks it reached over 90 degrees of course on the day of the race- but some sunkissed skin never hurt anybody. I've been more grateful for vision this past year than ever before. I feel truly blessed to have my sight.

Sorry no pics of me-post 5k doesn't look to good on me.
