Be Your Own Great Resource

Shirley came up to me tonight after running and said to me that the website I suggested in my blog was a great resource.  She then told a couple of her friends to go to the Nova site and prepare to be amazed.  To be ready to read some really great stuff.

But I wonder if Shirley knows what a great resource she is. 

I think I might have mentioned how wonderful it is to see her smile.  She has the kind of smile that lights up a room.  And I can only imagine how her patients feel when she walks into their hospital room.  I would be getting out of bed if Shirley smiled at me.

But back to my earlier question … I wonder if she knows what a resource she is?

I have the luxury of remembering the very first race I did with the Runner’s Den.  Way back when I first started to run after the surgery.  Esther used to do a race to raise money for Jason’s House.  I was so excited because it was my very first timed race.

My Aunt Dianna and I started off together.  But she is a faster runner than I am, and as I always say, run your own race.  So we went our own separate ways at some point.

And the last kilometre I met up with this lady who was clearly having a great time.  And I remember this wonderful lady encouraging her running partner.  Telling her that she was doing great.  That she could do it.

And she continues to encourage runners in a special way, that only Shirley can.  Thank you!!
