I've been spending plenty of time at St. Dominic's lately. My nephew was injured in a 4-wheeler accident on June 23, and he was brought to Jackson last Monday. Fortunately, it wasn't a head injury (I know that's what I was thinking.) but his right foot required extensive plastic surgery yesterday. He turned 13 while laying in a hospital bed last week. It's been tough on everyone.
Sitting in a hospital certainly gave me time to think about luck. You make your own or you share in someone else's. And, then there are days you just don't have it or get it. I want everyone to know that the day I signed up to join the marathoners was a really lucky day for me. Gaining the gift of new friends, who I look forward to seeing and/or reading their blogs, has been wonderful. Like Carol said, reading the blogs is a daily ritual. I'm self-employed and eventually the dogs run out of things to tell me, and my husband is taking care of interview business most of the day. We don't get much "water cooler" visiting done around here.
Suzanne and I will be at the Watermelon Run to get our training done in the morning. Wish they started earlier than 7:30 a.m. Hopefully, it will be cool late into the morning.Then our neighborhood, Mill Creek Place, will host it's 30th annual 4th of July parade at 10 a.m. And,I might just lounge in front of the tv with the a/c blasting for the rest of the day.
Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July. And, Carol, you be careful in that Dallas heat on Saturday! We'll be thinking about you.
Life is short, but it is deep.

I agree that joining MM was the best thing I have done for myself in a long time. Thanks for being such a good friend and running buddy. And think of all of the other great people we have met. It adds a whole new dimension to marathon Makeover. Suzanne
I agree that life, as we know it, is short but deep, but I don't believe in luck (but I'm not one to preach). I am glad to know that he was "fortunate" and doing better.
