they're ready when you are....

This is a card that Kari gave me for my birthday....one that I will never forget because it came at a point when I had been pondering my first marathon. The accompanying birthday gift was a beautiful necklace with a pendant of the Chinese character for "Journey". She had previously given me a bracelet inscribed with "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". Journey. A small word with a huge meaning for me and for this magnificent friendship! It has indeed been a journey to get to the decision to register for the marathon, and I know that the training, the race, and crossing that finish line--with my best friend--will be just additional steps in this journey of life. Great big magnificent steps that will continue to help me to be the very best person I can be....physically, mentally, and spiritually!! And the journey continues.....
