Heroes

Heroes, we all have them. Whenever I need inspiration, I consider of one of my many heroes.  If my garden is a mess, I aspire to be more like an ex-neighbor whose yard is well planned and perfectly kept; if my living room is altogether too dusty,  I think about my in-laws whose house (and garage) is always spotless. By golly, if they can do it, maybe I can too. 

If I’m ever tempted to whine about the few aches and pains that come with being elderly, I reflect on a certain 17 year old girl who’s never let much of anything stop her.  Despite being troubled with breathing problems her whole life, she plays soccer, basketball, and is on a winning track team.  I’ve seen her race with only one lung working.  Amazing.

A Winner

My hero, Emily, is trying to raise money for her hero, Dr. Karen Hardy.  Please take a look at Emily’s web site Up For Air to learn about her and her special project.   Thanks.
