The 2nd Annual 'United GP Walk.' Where There Is A Will, There IS A WAY!
Mood:  celebratory
Now Playing: Day 556-The Final Road To Survival

You know what today is right? It's the...

2ND ANNUAL 'UNITED GP WALK' NATIONWIDE!

That's right folks! Over a year in planning its finally here! Almost like Christmas! A GP type of Christmas!

So I decided to play things by ear once I got up at 1:30pm today. I don't want to push the envelope so to speak since I had the not so wonderful seizure late last night. Of course I woke up tired as ALL HECK! a bit tingly still in the head but determined as ever to lead the pack for a successful walk! It takes a heck of a lot to keep this gal down and I refuse to allow my head to change any plans. Sure, I will be dragging and tired but you only live once and the 'United GP Walk' only comes around once a year. This is the second year and its bigger than ever! With 32 states and two countries walking for Gastroparesis Awareness there is just no excuses in my book. So after a bad night and a foggy day you know what I did right?

I KICKED MY OWN SELF IN THE BOOTY, GOT OUT THERE AND WALKED!

It was a fairly nice day for the annual walk although the weather was better yesterday everyone still got together and had a very nice time. Low-key kind of time seeing I like to remain hidden now and allow others to take the Gastroparesis Awareness bull by the horns. Take it and RIDE RIDE RIDE! And everyone did just that!

This gal doesn't cry. In fact its very seldom you will find a tear from my eyes unless that scale of 1-10 pain goes over 20 but today was a different kind of day. It wasn't tears of pain but tears of joy as once I got home this evening and started winding down photos from others around the great USA and overseas started to pour in. Words can't describe the feeling seeing so many people from around the world join hands making a difference in the lives of Gastroparesis patients. Most are GP patients joining along side family, friends, loved one and even colleagues. Its an amazing feeling knowing you CAN make a difference walking together for Gastroparesis Awareness!

So forget you Mr. Seizure! I won't let you ruin my day instead I kept my boxing gloves on because no matter what life throws your way you gotta, "KEEP ON! KEEPING ON!" AMEN.
