How can you totally kill a runner....you can not let her run. Doctor's orders and add to that a nasty case of strep throat to add icing to the week! Needless to say I am ready to go. Whenever I have to overcome something I tell myself, "Nance, it's time to put on your big-girl pants!" I have allowed myself to grieve and be sad...to look at life as more precious.....to give out and take lots of hugs....to allow my body to heal....but now it is time to put on the big-girl pants and go back to being the example I want for my always watching little girl! I'm putting on my big-girl pants and I'm heading back to running and weights! No more eating like I have the metabolism of a 3 year-old! I didn't reach my goal for April and my May mileage may be low but I am determined to get back on the horse and be beach ready!!!
Also I chose this day because....well it's Mother's Day! I love my Mom! It would be so incredibly hard to put into words all that she is to me! I just hope that I am able to support Emma the way that my Mom has always supported me! Speaking of which....I am forever thankful for the tiny blessing that made me a Mommy!! There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank the Lord for her!!! She is the coolest, funniest, smartest, cutest, most loving kid I know and I am so proud to be her Mom!!! Happy Mother's Day to you all!!!
A moment I will always treasure....the first time I saw my blessing!!!
Big hugs to you Nancy! Have a wonderful mother's day with Emma.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you Nancy. I have been in your shoes and know that it is tough. You will get through it, but take the time to be sad. Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteOh Nancy, Happy Mother's Day! I have been in your situation, like Miss Zippy said, allow yourself time to be sad. I will be thinking about you!
ReplyDeleteI was in your shoes back in September. It is hard, but you will get throught it. Just remember that everything happens for a reason and if you need a smile, I am sure a certain little Em can put it on your face :) **Sending positive, healing thoughts your way**
ReplyDeleteContinued prayers to you! I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, but glad you're pulling through.
ReplyDeleteKeep that chin up. And happy late Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are doing ok! Hope you can run again soon with no aches!
ReplyDeletePraying for you. Such a heartbreak. Happy Mothers Day to you Nancy!! Emma is a blessed little girl!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs and prayers to you, Nancy! You are a great mom and you're right, one day you'll meet your little baby... I have faith in that! Now get back to running! :)
ReplyDeleteOH. Wow. I don't have any good words. I can't say "I know how you feel", because this is your experience, but know that I've had "days" like yours, and ... yeah, pretty much the worst feeling ever.
ReplyDeleteIt's OK to be sad, and it's also OK to rally and put on your big girl pants. Either way, whatever the day brings, you're doing it right. So proud of you, you inspire with your example of how to just "be". Take care~
