That's a wrap.

Good Day

Bad joke about miracles:
Jesus and Moses are sitting in a boat fishing when Jesus says,
"I want to perform a miracle so it will feel like the good old days."
Moses says, "Yeah, sure."
So Jesus gets up and says "I think I'll walk on water, that was always a good one."
So Jesus walks over to the edge of the boat, steps into the water and sinks
like a stone. Moses drags him back into the boat and revives him.
Moses says, "What's the problem?"
Jesus replies, "I don't know, but it could be these holes in my feet!"


Now what do I do?  Regina Relay For Life 2012 is over.  No more boxes of stuff to occupy our dining room / living room. That is at some point next week as I still have a few boxes of "stuff" to arrange.  Was a great 5 months of planning.  But what now?   Well I guess time to start on 2013 Relay.  Sorry T - I will try to keep stuff out of your dinning room till next spring.  :)  

Friday was a long day - though a great day.   Our Relay committee pulled of a terrific event and I am very thank full to have been a part of making this happen.  I believe we accomplished what we set out to do.  Throughout the day - tears were shed, laughs were heard from all around and memorable moments occurred ever minute.  What more could you ask for?   The saying goes a picture says a 1000 words - well so does a smile and Friday there were lots.   Even the 4am rain could not dampen those smiles into frowns. 


This year was my first Survivor Lap experience and I must say - there is no other feeling like it. Every step you become more empowered -  everyone on the sidelines clapping was like a heart beat pumping new life and lifting you up so you keep going.   Teresa and I walked our lap hand in hand - and soaked it all in.  The lap was very representative of this chapter in our lives.  Together we walked along with support all around till we came to the end and began new step. 

Teresa also had a moment of recognition for all her hard work and super duper heart.  She was asked to co-carry the Caregiver Banner at the beginning of the Caregiver Lap.  Well little did she know that would include announcing her name.  She helped carry the banner and led an amazing group of people around the track as all in attendance cheered.   Hmmm that camera guy sure did alot of taping - wonder is that will be part of our local coverage.  Will have to see.  Teresa was a real trooper as she's not to fond of stuff like that.  Was alot of fun.  


In summary - we had a good time, Teresa nor I had a camera so unfortunatly I dont have a single picture to share with you - only some words.   

 Thank you to everyone who participated, especially my fellow Survivors. 

Keep on smiling
