Whoa now... Doing what I love!

The South Carolina Speech and Hearing Association held a conference last week which I was able to attend. I was so excited I had to drink this-- Starbucks Calm Tazo Tea....

...to keep my cool. Thankfully I was successful. 

Why I rUN

Every year there comes the annual April 1/2 marathon. Since this tradition began I have learned a lot    about myself...so I penned a poem about it... Precious.

Running is my favorite sport,

I do it every week-

I'd like to think that I was fast,

But it's a dream I seek.

I usually fall like once a year,

And Alli thinks it's a laugh,

I'd be cackling at myself too-

But I'm recovering from the skin graph.

Jon is my running buddy,

He generally runs on his feet.

And when there is a dog or skunk-

I make him take the heat.

 I think that I will close it here,

With this little phrase:

Three runs a week- the right amount,

To help you through your days. 

Hear ye! Hear ye! Be ye oh thankful one!

I am thankful for these 10 things:

1. My blue palmetto cup from Ace Hardware...Perfect for sipping ice-cold, unfiltrated water!

2. Peanut MnMs...which I may or may not have eaten in large quantities today

3. The Living word of God 

4. The opportunity to help kids who have speech and language disorders overcome them

5. A blanket in which I can wrap up like a mummy

6. Waterfalls and the picture they are of God's grace which flows continually in my life

7. The inventor of Chick-fil-A sauce

8. The time I get to spend with Allison, Carrie, Rachael, Katie, and my Mom

9. FaceTime

10. Diet Dr. Pepper which reminds me of my human frailty...for without it I would not stay awake during my afternoon classes

So many things...so many things to be thankful for!
