Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Peggy: Thanks so much for sponsoring me! Everytime someone sponsors me, I get all choked up. I just can't believe everyone's generosity. I ran 3.5 miles this morning, and I'll run 6 miles on Saturday. I ran places that I'd never even have been able to walk before: I ran up the Filbert Steps to Coit Tower, and when I turned around to face the Bay, there before me was the most beautiful sight--the rising sun through the Bay Bridge. It was bright orange and so beautiful that I got a little teary eyed. Then a woman in a motorized wheel chair asked me for directions. I pointed out all the curb cuts so that she could see what I was seeing. When she saw the beauty, she let out a laughing yell of joy, just like a child would. We enjoyed the morning together, just for a moment, connecting through beauty and joy. We said good-bye, and she thanked me. What a wonderful morning! Thanks again, Peggy.
