Running the race
Although she didn't win the race, Elena ran with all her might on the track at the official stadium of one of the biggest soccer teams in Guatemala. As I sat in the stand looking down on the kids (Kayla raced, too) they looked so small compared to the massive stadium. As a part of their PE grade for the year the children participated in two events, a short sprint for speed and a longer run for endurance. Hard to believe a 6 year-old and 4 year-old would be required to race! The important thing is: they did their best and loved it!I don't really think it's about whether we win or lose, become experts in our field, own the most things, earn the most money, or even how "spiritual" we are. Maybe the important thing is how we run.

Nell... this latest blog is fantastic!
Annette and I loved it - really really great. I'm proud of helping you get started blogging just so that I can tell people, "Nell Stiff? oh sure, I know her...in fact I it was me who set up her blog." They will get quiet and just stare at me in wonder and jealousy :-D
Hey Nell -- Nice job. Isn't blogging great?! I like what you've done and look forward to more! -- Laura
