I am sorry that you missed the race yesterday, but yes, stay focused on the many blessings you have and stop beating yourself up about the race. And just think how much stronger and faster you will be in the NEXT race because you will have even more time to train for it *smiles* The piece you created in KC’s workshop is gorgeous!

Thank you for taking the time to attend my opening. It was GREAT to see you, BUT frustrating to not visit with you after such a long absence in our communication. I see from this post that you have had some kind of amazingly difficult year. Hope the physical challenges are behind you. Sorry I wasn't any help to you this year as I have been buried alive in my show and my work. I am only now seeing on your blog some of the intense issues you have faced. Don't forget I would love to visit with you and your mother this fall, so please save me a dance on your dance card.

You have the right to run down the road. Neighbors have the right to own guns. No one has the right to shoot at you. Do you believe the kids that they didn't know? Your story had me scared out of my mind. I felt your fear as you tried to protect yourself on the ground. How differently this all could have turned out if you had accidentally been hit. I think I would still be trembling. Best wishes as you keep running. Maybe a bit of body armour is needed. I am so glad you are all right. I can't get beyond the fear. Guns don't scare me. People with guns scare the crap outta me. Yes. You have the right to run down the road. Neighbors have the right to own guns. No one has the right to shoot at you.
