I think people have this perception that runners always love running. Like they think we love running as much as people enjoy binge watching Netflix or eating chocolate. They couldn't be more wrong. The honest truth is most of us struggle to get started. And most of us, at least my friends and husband and… Continue reading Game Changer
When my life is coming to an end and I am ready to see Jesus' face... what regrets will I have? I've thought a lot about the things I know I wouldn't say: I wish I had saved more money. I wish we hadn't taken those vacations. I wish I had lived in a bigger… Continue reading No regrets…
What if the MRI shows new lesions? What if this fatigue and tingling I'm feeling is the beginning of another exacerbation? What if we can't afford the copay? What if the fridge goes out? What if that noise was the HVAC going out? What if I'm not thinking about all the many possibilities for what… Continue reading What if?
Once upon a time, I needed some new khaki pants. It was my one and only time ever going to the Kentucky Derby and I was going to help my son's Marching Band work and raise money. I needed a uniform to check bracelets and work security. The uniform consisted of a white button down… Continue reading The khaki pants
These are the moments that make my heart burst. While my daughter was waiting for me to dry her hair Saturday morning, she plopped down next to my husband and asked if he wanted to read her daily Bible devotion with her. She reads her Bible and does a daily devotion every morning. Not because we… Continue reading Daddy’s girl
My annual MRI is coming up in less than two weeks. March 1st. March is my MRI month and it's basically ruined the month for me indefinitely. This will be my 5th MRI. I would like to tell you it's become no big deal... that I don't cry like a baby leading up to the… Continue reading Marching Right In
It seems like the last thing the world needs right now is more noise and more opinion on what we need to do in light of the tragedies of the recent school shootings. We could debate about gun control or better mental health care all day, but I don't want to do that. All I… Continue reading What can we do?
I'm always interested in other people's training plans, so I thought I would share mine for the remainder of 2018. It should be noted that my husband and I will likely have to make adjustments as life happens. Our plan is derived a little from the Jeff Galloway plan and a little from the Under… Continue reading Training Plan for 2018!
Recently I was asked a tough question, or rather questions: You quote the Lord many times in your writing. Have you always had a good relationship with your faith? To be honest, after I was diagnosed I didn't want to hear about God, I was really angry. What would you say to [others] about reestablishing… Continue reading “What would you say?”
No one wants to talk about their bad days, or at least I don't. My husband is probably the only person who knows when I'm having a bad "MS" day, but most the time I don't share all the details because I don't want to worry him excessively. I'll say I should work on this...… Continue reading A (bad) day in the life
Not Today, MS
