Soooo.....I got this insane idea to go out walking.....at, oh....around midnight!
The thing is, this friend of mine, she saw me at lunch with the family yesterday, and she mentioned she would be doing the "relay for life" walk at the field that evening. I knew she was a cancer survivor, and I had donated towards her walk, I had not kept track of the day though. She reminded me the walk was from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM **what survivor wants to walk for 12 hours straight, through the middle of the night** I don't judge....to each their own. I casually asked if she had a lot of people walking with her on her team......six.........that is it......for twelve stinking hours! That is crazy I tell you! She said I should stop by if I was out...........what, like walking the streets at 3:00 AM? I am not that kind of girl anymore....*snicker*
Well....go figure, I put my walking shoes on at midnight, rather than sleep.....and went walking for an hour.........listened to the radio station, which was set up on the field, was humbled by the
luminaries lining the field giving it a beautiful glow.....all in "memory" or "survivor" names. It was actually more peaceful than you would think.........Mister had stayed up waiting for me, and when I came home.....I snuggled in, a little bit closer....peeked in on the babes, and said a prayer of thankfulness.............I am so blessed. Oh yeah, and I never found her.........maybe I was there for me, and not her.....who knows.
