So, I spent 6 and a bit hours painting the fence. It’s a bloody
looooong fence. Picture the Great Wall of China but smaller and made of wood…okay,
it’s really nothing like the Great Wall of China but it’s a pretty swell wall
the frames the rainforest a nanosecond from my house. I don’t mind painting. It’s
good thinking time because it’s quiet and there are no interruptions. I thought
about a lot of stuff that was on my mind from the trivial to the big life
questions. Looks? Meh. Weight? Whatever. Men? Go fish. Work? So many lessons
still to impart on those men. Writing? Ongoing but less desperate. Running? Only
when I choose to. Negative people out of my life? Check. Positive people in? As
long as they refrain from doing smiley faces on emails. Breathing? Definitely. Accepting
less than my due? Nuh-uh. Comments on the blog that tell me that I empowered someone?
Priceless.
Relay for Life - It is a unique event where teams of 10 to
15 challenge themselves to take turns to keep a baton moving in a relay style
walk or run overnight…I expect we’ll be running as we’re bootcampers and
apparently invincible…but that’s okay. It’s so little to ask to help those
with cancer. ‘Got a spare $5? Please
consider donating to our team…I promise we will do 10 – dreaded – shudder –
puke – burpees – on your behalf.
