While we are not currently eating a lot of "festival" food, like funnel cakes or potato pancakes, we like to buy raffle tickets, basket tickets, white elephant items, etc. to support this organization and their mission.
I also like walking from the parking spot up the hill and through the grounds of Marywood and then walking all around and meeting people and being social. I always tell you that a social life is as important a part of being fit and maintaining good mental faculties as exercise is.
Looking around the grounds, the IHM Sisters and the aides are wheeling some of the residents around the picnic. When you look at the children and adults that this festival benefits, you know that you are doing the right thing by being there. One thing I also know, you and I have nothing to complain about. We are able to walk, talk, laugh and eat without assistance. We bitch about everything...being hot, having to walk a little, not getting exactly what we want to eat, having to go to work every day. But, these children and adults put it all into perspective. You need to be grateful for what you are given and take care of your body and your mind.
"Quit yer bitchin..."
