Team Haylee #2

Last year we started a tradition, Team Haylee: a team that walks/runs to help support our Toledo Zoo and to remember Haylee.  This year the funds raised will go to purchase an owl for the zoo so we chose this quote to be on the back of our T-shirts: 
 
A friend is like an owl, both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost whose spirit never dies.

The back of the youth shirts stated:  Owl always love you!

Over 50 people ordered and shirts and I saw at least 30 of you at the zoo!  Thank you so much for helping to raise money for the zoo and to remember Haylee!  I heard that someone named Haylee, came up to one of you to ask what are shirts meant.  She said that she loved frogs too and liked to run!  It is times like these, when God reminds us that Haylee is happy in heaven and we are doing a good work.   Next year, we have got to get a photo of all of us together!

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
