One Step At A Time

I went to an introductory meeting for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure last Thursday night with my daughter, Sarah.

I was uncharacteristically quiet during the meeting and when the request to sign up was made, I said a quiet, "No."

When the second request to sign up was made, I again said a quiet, "No."

The truth is I was filled with so much emotion. I had heard stories and saw and felt such courage and determination to LIVE and to HELP and to GIVE.

I knew I wanted to be a part of this powerful community and do something. I just had to take me and my incredible emotions home and be with myself for a night.

I knew I would sign up. I knew I couldn't not sign up.

I have done everything with Sarah on this cancer journey. I have been with her from beginning to end.

How could I not do the walk?

I will walk for Sarah.

I will walk with Sarah.

I will walk for those who cannot walk.

I will walk for those that came before me.

I will walk for those that come after me.

It is one thing I can do.

I can walk.

I can walk 60 miles in 3 days.

I can do this....

One step at a time!
