Yesterday, my daughter ran her first official cross country event. She ran a 1 mile course which she finished in un-record time. She could have finished in the top 15, I am sure of it, if only for one thing: her friend.
Her friend was not feeling well and not in the mood to use all of her strength. Molly, being the phenomenal friend that she is, chose to hold back and stay with her friend instead of running for herself.
I was so proud of her for being a good friend, but I also tried to tell her that sometimes, it’s okay to think of yourself, especially in cross country. It was a good learning experience and she had a great time.

My husband has now joined the blog-o-sphere. It did not occur to me until he created his own blog how surprising it was that he had not done so years ago. I guess he is so mired in geekdom that I just took it for granted that he was already “out there,” so to speak.
So now, he has put me to shame since he is going to start blogging. I can’t seem to be spurred on by my friends’ blogs, but perhaps a bit of friendly, “in-house” competition will spur me to become less sporadic of a blogger.
Check his out…it’s new, so not much to read yet, but stay tuned. It will be good reading down the road…I guarantee!
