Prayers – lots of folks among us have family members and loved ones dealing with sickness, injury or hardships – we pray for strength and guidance for them and for all of you. Splinter noted a recent reconnection with an old friend going through hard times. Always a good time to drop a note or pick up the phone and reconnect!
Great morning to move around and work up a sweat. Keep pushing each other and keep getting out there guys. I had the pleasure of attending St. Catherine’s upper school chapel this morning to hear my daughter give her Senior talk. There were nerves all around, especially in the back row for me and my M. My daughter did amazing. She talked about her obstacles with grace and strength and brought the laughter sharing the irony that she was talking during chapel when 90% of the time she passes out in chapel. A proud moment for me for sure for many reasons, but most of all because of her message – life is full of obstacles and changes but like her favorite animals (sharks and snakes – who knew?) you just have to keep swimming and sometimes you have to shed your skin and roll with the changes. Right on, girl!
No More Gumbo For you!
