Today was exhausting, I rose before the sun and dressed in the dark quiet kitchen. When you have 4 kids you don't do that too often. As I got my things together for the next 6+ hours I was joined by the soft patter of Leili feet, I was thankful to not have to wake her. I tied my walking shoes on and Leili and I jumped in the car ready (we hoped) for our day. As we sped along the 80 the sun begain to peek at us and I lived on the edge and took pictures while I drove.
We got to the marina and unloaded and set up our LLL booth, there was satisfaction as all our hard work came together and we could enjoy the event. Today the event was a 5k run/walk for breastfeeding awareness. I have found myself in this culture, surrounded by some of the most amazing mamas I have ever enjoyed. And enjoy I do, the support it immeasurable and the service I get to give is fulfilling beyond words.
So Leili and I & some mamas and babes, we "manned" our booth we walked or ran a 5k and our cups were filled to overflowing.
Today was a good day... one that will sustain me on some of the less fulfilling days.
What a great day!!! You look like you're glowing in that pic :) I'm so jealous when I see you in long sleeves, I'm boiling over here! AHHH I miss you! I'm so glad that you've got those LLL roots over there and some like-minded mamas! Did Dan stay home with the other three, or did they pop by? Love, Lisa
ReplyDeleteGood for you!
ReplyDeleteYea well before the sun it is COLD here, and if you stay in the shade long sleeves can be tolerable. But I was also hiding from the sun, being out that long there is no sunscreen to save me! :)
ReplyDeleteSaddly Dan had to fly so the older 3 stayed with friends so they did not get to come, I was wishing they could. :(
