And life goes on...
After all my focus on Nationals, it is wonderful to redirect that focus on all the good work being accomplished at 'Dream For The Stars'. Does a heart good!
Alfie, my little rescue dog, who was so abused when he arrived that he didn't make noise for 2 years, is busting out in joy to hear that we are also focusing on the pets that need our help & support to find loving homes.
I got a new electric bass to help me get my groove back... so music is a happening thing
And I still have racing goals to make with my racing team--TriStar MedPlan...
Last week I finished the Master's National Championships among the top ten overall women in my category-- #9, to be precise. I did get 'on the podium' for Time Trialing! There are 5 podium spots; I was fifth. But that was my goal; it was quite difficult to achieve, and I did it. So Happy.Who could believe that an arthritic asthmatic, who's missing half her veins, has a bad ankle, and 'heart issues', riding on borrowed wheels* could do such a thing? Yes, its rhetorical, maybe... But if you had any doubt about God, He is all-powerful.**
Now, time to plan a ride for 'Dream For The Stars'. Because without the belief that I don't need to be held down and pushed back by feelings of unworthiness, I could never have become a National Champion.
September 12th we will ride out to show that 'overcoming' is for everyone.
