OK all,so as you see I am writing in a different color today. Well there is a reason for that and I am just thrilled to share it with you.
See I get the opportunity to do walk for a great cause but a horrible disease. I am doing a walk called Relay For Life. Some of you may have heard of this but if you haven't let me tell you about it. Relay For Life is a cancer walk. People from all over the place get together and form teams just like I did. Then those teams raise money for cancer and all the money that the teams get goes to finding a cure for cancer. Them we all get together and walk.
You can walk for however long you want. Since the event is from 6pm to 6am you could walk all night if you want.
I have never done this event before so I am a little nervous but also amazed how so many people are coming together to walk for such an amazing cause. People come from all over America and I even have friend that are coming down from Canada to walk on my team which I love them for do this . This event is something I think everyone should do at least once in their lives.
It's truly a heart warming event and I am sure that it's gonna be amazing. I am team captain for my team so I picked what I wanted my team name to be which is The Forever Fighters. .
Don't worry all I will be posting so many photos so stand by for some amazing photos... If you want to learn more about this walk and what it's all about please check out. RelayForLife.Org
This is a place where I can express who I am. This is all new for me,but I already love it.

Are You Gonna Catch Me Or Not.(A must Read)
Sorry all,I stole the title of my post from a song but,it really relates to my post today.
You know it's been crazy lately. I just now get to take a deep breath and breath and get my head on straight and get my thought on what I have been thinking about lately on paper so bare with me if I get a little off topic.
We all have safety nets. No,I am not talking about actually talking about actual safety nets. No,the kind of safety nets that I am talk about is ones that stay with you forever,no matter what happens. See, for 21 years I had amazing safety nets. Now I am going to be honest and say that I have never had my parents as safety nets,so in place of them I have my grandparents.
A couple of days after I wrote the post "The Loss Of A Great Man" I realized that I wrote about how much I miss my grandfather but,what I didn't tell you in that post is how much he was my safety net..
It's weird because for 21 years he has always been there. Taking care of me in every way that he can,both him and my grandmother . When he passed away it didn't hit me that my safety net was gone until a couple of days ago. Now maby it's just me and maby I'm just nuts but lately I have been feeling sorry for myself.
I have been thinking that he is not here any more so now 1/2 of my safety net is gone and I am lost .. But then after talking with my other part of my safety net,which is my grandmother I got to thinking on how even know he is not here doesn't mean that he is gone. He is still keeping me safety and when I fall he is there to pick me up.
Like I said,everyone of us has a safety net. For me it is my grandfather and my grandmother. For others even if we do not realize it ,it could be even a total stranger.Or it could be someone more that we know like,a husband,or your sons or daughters,or friends or maby just a co worker or even someone who has passed on. Who ever your safety net is keep them close to your hearts.
Make sure that if you know who your safety net is that you love them and spend that amazing time with them. Also realize that even if you think that your safety net is gone,remember that their not. Their always with you. See safety nets are not like money or anything else. It's not something that can be taken away from you no matter how hard anyone tries. Safety nets are their to stay.
If I can teach anything from this post it's don't do what I did to myself. Don't ever think that your alone. I blamed myself for a while when my pawpaw (grandfather) died . I though I was alone. I didn't take that time to see that my safety net is still here. So do your self's a favor and make sure that you love your safety nets. and remember that people are here when you need them to be.
