Thursday

My prayers are with you and your family as you start your journey today.   Jeannie

Good morning everyone!                                    Best wishes today Carol! I hope you have someone acting as your 'angel'. If not, please contact Gail. She enjoys being a phone angel and is very good at it. That means that she'd call the hospital and see how you're doing...and then let us nosey..but caring folks know.                       Today is Lilly's Global Day of Caring. They are doing projects all around the city/state/country/ and yes, world. All the Lilly sites in the world are involved in this. I think that's pretty cool. Much of what will be done here in Indy is cleaning up along-side streets, planting trees/flowers, and painting murials (an artist did the drawings and Lilly people are 'filling in' the colors..think 'paint by numbers').  Lilly's is also donating $1 for every 15 minutes/1 mile walked so guess what I'll be doing. I don't think I can get anywhere near the mileage I did at one time (16 miles/day) but I should be able to raise a few bucks anyway. Certainly not 15 minute miles though! I'm going to go by my pedometer rather than the timing.  I'm going to start walking after breakfast and take lots of breaks.  I was swelled up to 37" last night but I'm back down to 33.5" this morning so I'm not in any pain right now (tummy wise anyway)  so as long as the swelling stays away, I should be half-way ok.           Hey Angie...if you are keeping up with the board...if Gail and I go for lunch tomorrow, can you join us? It give me a chance to get your Pampered Chef to you. Let me know...                            Well all..have a really, really good day today!                Sherri

Whoo Hooo!  I bet you are so excited!  I will be thinking about you all day!  Be sure to have the hubby call!  I'll keep my cell on all day!!!
