Just when the caterpillar thought his life was over, he became a butterfly.
--Proverb
I love that saying. I don’t know if it actually applies to me. But I do know that I have often felt and thought that I just couldn’t DO this anymore. And I have pushed through. And I have been more proud of myself at the end of it.
I have always wanted to do a 5K. And now I’m actually going to DO it. Some one I cared for very much died June 12, 2009. She was in hospice care during her final hours. Thanks to Jehovah and the care she received, she died painlessly. The 5K that I am walking (probably very slowly) benefits a hospice house in the town she lived in. It is a beautiful place that provides palliative (comfort) care for the dying at NO COST TO THEM!!! I am proud to be able to support such wonderful place.
I am sure I will be very proud of myself when I get to that finish line!

Good for you for walking for such a wonderful cause! I've walked in 2 5K's (Race for the Cure for breast cancer), and I have set a goal with a friend of mine to actually RUN (eek!) a 5K in our town next year!
I too love that saying!!! You go girl congrats on signing up for the 5k!!! It makes it even more special that your doing it for a special cause :)
Okay, here's another thing we have in common.... both wanting to do a 5k! I am dying to do one! Now, I just have to get over my fear of actually doing it! lol I'm so glad to hear your brave enough to do one! And for such a great cause! That's just awesome! And who knows, maybe it will give me just the push I need! ( ;
