Some of you who will read this, won’t understand. You’ll wonder why I’m sharing this kind of personal information and photo.
Mostly it keeps me honest. It reminds me who I am, where I was, how far I’ve come.
More importantly, why I keep moving so I DO NOT become again…
In the late 1990’s – I was a youth director at a local church. I was very physically active and this photo was taken while we were on a Habitat for Humanity site in Kennebunk, Maine.
Yep. That’s me in the tie-dye shirt in all my glory – right before we tore down that shed.
Fast-Forward to September 29, 2011:
I was looking through some paperwork to shred and I found this receipt.
My last trip to Vegas – my final day, I decided to ride the ROLLER COASTER AT NYNY RESORT.
I had some time on my hands that day and I was happy to just do things on a whim… because I could.
That’s why I rode that roller coaster*.
Because for the first time in a long, long time I FIT in the seat with the harness and safety gear in place.
It was a celebration!
I’m reminded every time I run – how far I’ve come, and yet how far I need to go…
Life is a Journey to CELEBRATE!
*I wasn’t afraid of the ride, but I questioned my choice when we hit the first corner and I got jerked around the in the car – ouch my back/neck! Whiplash!!
