I found one! I found one! Oh...I guess you probably want to know what it was. Not a brain cell, I'm still missing several of those. I found an MS walk. And it's in Myrtle Beach. You'd better believe my happy ass will be there May 1. Ummm...butt. My happy butt will be there. If you can, I'd love for you to join us. I am Captain of our team (Who gave me responsibility?)

So...I've really been thinking. I don't need to fit into a box. I CAN'T fit into a box. I always thought that I had to be this person who fit into a pretty little box with a bow and a nice little label. If I was a Christian wife, then I needed to act like one. No going out, no cursing, no drinking. Now, I will grant you, I don't curse much. Rarely, really. But I digress...I'm slowly learning that I don't need to fit into that box, or any other. The only thing I need to be is ME. I don't have to answer to anyone, except for God on Judgment Day. Until then, I live the best that I can, but I don't have to give up my personality. I'm me, after all. I happen to think I make a pretty good me. That's my new label...ME

Morning, everyone!!
Good grief, it was hard to get out of bed this morning. I am hurting. Lots to do today though. I have to go to a doctor's office to fill out an application...I'm not sure how I feel about it, because it is a hair further from home than I would like...but I don't really feel like I'm in a position to be picky, either. Honestly, I'd just be grateful to have a job. Especially one that is in a medical office. We will see. I mean, it's certainly not like they've even offered it to me.
Still not working out yet. I know that I feel better when I'm moving, but I'm certainly not going to work out. I will wait until I'm pain free for that. Since I have to go into a bigger town today, maybe I will just go walk around the mall for a little while to let my hip loosen up. I know I really have nothing to complain about, so many people have it far worse, but I really want to get back into working out! You know, though, yesterday I read something that says you should only make one major change at a time. So maybe this is meant to slow me down until I get back in the point counting groove.
I am pretty upset about something. I have several friends with MS, one who is my weekly coffee date. Yesterday I attempted to register for an MS walk, and found that the closest one is over 2 hours away. I emailed our local chapter office to see what we can do to have one closer, and I haven't heard anything back. It may be too late for this year anyway, we may have to wait until next year. I do think I will sign up for the one in GA. What is a 2 hour drive compared to what so many people are going through? I really think we need to raise awareness. This is a horrible disease, and watching my friend cry because she can't stay after church for Sunday small groups just breaks my heart. I will keep y'all posted on that.
