Plenty of honey in my pot!

Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood have had many adventures. Adventures where there always seems to be a problem to solve.

For example, when Pooh needed honey, he disguised himself as a Little Black Rain Cloud with the help of Christopher Robin to reach the bee hive high in the tree.  Then there was the time Pooh thought Christopher Robin was captured by a Backson.  His buddy Rabbit decided they should try to trap the Backson, so everyone worked together to set the trap, but when Pooh and his friends fell into the trap they had set,  Piglet, in his own special way, found a way to get they out.

While these are only two examples, there is a common theme throughout all of Pooh's adventures...friends are always there to help you solve your problems and celebrate with you when the answers are found.

As I have said before, I can really relate to Pooh.  Obviously, having cancer is my current dilemma but it's my friends and family who make getting through it manageable.  This weekend, I had the honor of gathering with many of these special people at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Nashville.  What an amazing day, all made possible by a team my daughter, Amanda, and family friend, Lisa. started a couple months ago.  When the first email went out, I never imagined the response we would have.  There were 46 registered warriors for Team Evil Lumps and Woozles with just over $1500 raised in donations. That to me is unbelievable!

On Saturday, we gathered at the event to celebrate.  I was overwhelmed by the kindness displayed to me.  I saw friends new and old from every aspect of my life.  It was an amazing blend of support that made me feel so special and loved, offering much encouragement for the journey still ahead.

I am not sure I can ever say thank you enough.  But what I can share is how much the support and participation in this event meant.  I looked forward to this day for so long and now hold onto the memories made.  I hope we can make this a yearly tradition while the search for a cure for breast cancer continues.

Pooh once said, 

"A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey."  

I think you can tell by this picture...there is plenty of honey in my pot! Thanks for being part of Team Evil Lumps and Woozles!
