One Foot in Front of the Other

This last weekend has been a busy one for me, as I participated in two walks; (one I did, and the other I volunteered to help with) both of which I had to get up early for. Helping out certain charities and people in need was not the issue I had, but rather the cold-both days were invariably chilly, especially Saturday, of which it was windy, but even Sunday where it looked like it might get warmer, but instead stayed very cold and dreary. This weekend, I learned a valuable lesson. During the March of Dimes/March for Babies, I found that simply walking and donating money to poor premature infants and infants born with birth defects and the like really is renowned in its thinking that we can save a life-we have the ability to save those babies. And on Sunday, during the Cherry Creek Sneak, I learned from a rather exuberant and animated "go-getter" that we were changing the world by exercising. Interesting perspective, is it not? But both of these days taught me that I love to volunteer and help people out, and do things for others instead of myself. I enjoyed seeing all the different faces and smiles and ways people would greet or thank me for handing them their post-race goody bag. I now know just what we need to know when we wish to progress forward: one must simply put one foot in front of the other, and soon they'll be walking out the door.
