You just run."
- John Bingham,
American marathon runner
Helen made me cry by writing this on my facebook wall last night when I was hurting about something else. She didn't know I was sad, but she helped me anyway.
See, you just never know when a kind word will soften a heart.
I ran, only a bit, but I ran. I came back upstairs, read this, then I cried a bit, only a bit, and all around I felt tired but so much better.

Sending huge hugs for whatever is going on, and rejoicing in the kind unexpected words of a friend.
sometimes the hardest steps are the first. the choice to get up and go. bravo for making the hardest steps.
don't know what was weighing on your heart yesterday, but pray today is lighter and brighter. praying the Lord gives you an extra measure of spring in your step today.

Friends are a source of strength for me too!
About running...I so appreciated this quote... very true!
Sorry you are hurting. So true that a kind word can mean so much and change the way the world looks.

I'm so sorry you're hurting - but isn't it awesome how God uses us to send comfort when we need it.
That is so awesome, Ellen. Awesome that those few words smoothed the edges of your day like that. Wonderful! :)
I'm okay. Some family stuff that's been around for a while really got me down last night. I was going to post about it, but instead I ran...a bit.
Looking for the "like" button. :/ Good for you not letting the bad stuff win and going for a run. A good friend is a treasure.
I LOVE it! Very incouraging words!
Thanks for all the support & comments on my colonoscopy tomorrow! I'll be so happy I did it and am taking care of myself.
Thanks....you're a Sweetheart!
