Freezing Friday
I continue to have more energy than last week, but doing a few basic things soon catches up with me, so it's time for the couch again. I waffled about going to Wellspring for a relaxation session, but ended up going and was exceedingly glad I had made the effort. There were four people there I hadn't met before, each with her own story, and the group just gelled with everyone caring for each other in whatever way we could. After the session, we all gathered round the front door to greet Jonathan Dockman (www.canadacrusade.com) who had just arrived on his cross-Canada run that started in Newfoundland last August. He and his Dad are from Airdrie, Alberta, and are doing this fundraiser basically from scratch with very little outside help. Optimists Clubs are taking the donations. He is an 18-year-old kid wanting to do something meaningful in honour of his Aunt Mary Beth (who has uterine cancer). I gave him a hug and my thanks as I left.
