I'm Working On

I love you wall photos Ali.

Have a great day Ali!

Good Luck with the physical therapist. I hope they can figure out what's up with your leg.

The "working on"... It's what keeps us so alive.Take care of that leg. As always,Thanks for sharing Ali:o)

Just concerned about your leg. This happened to my neighbor and she had fractured it and didn't even know. She runs almost every day. To find out the problem it required a ct scan and some surgery. Not trying to scare you but she waited and the Dr. said it might have been much worse had she waited longer. Go to and Orthopedic Dr. so we don't worry about you. I know I am not your mom!

So sorry to hear about your leg. Hoping you're still able to get out on walks if not runs. Loving your 'making space for life not stuff' philosophy. Looking forward to your class and seeing more paintings (if you're intending tp share!)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm love LOVE your photo wall. Doesn't that stuff just make ya feel GOOD!!!!! Hoping your leg is ok...and I work at a school knowing how much paperwork and "stuff" that all can be with Simon. I hope he continues to grow and do his very very best...sounds like you are on a good track. Best of luck. Everyday is evolving huh???? Getting things organzied, trying to make sense of it all. Thanks for always inspiring us, and reminding us we all have allot of "stuff"....simply everyday!!!!

I hope you'll see an orthopedist, too. I can't run anymore because I've had both knees replaced, but I still dream about running. So, I know how much you want to get out there and run. Blessings.

Ok you've gotten it a few times but I'll throw it out there too... see an Orthopedic doctor. I had problems running too and it wound up getting so bad they had to realign my patella and repair several tears in my meniscus. The sooner you can rule out or catch an injury the better!

Oh and good luck with Simon!

Me too! I lvoe that photo wall - this is what I have been wanting to create in my home, but it's one of those things that keeps getting shuffled down on the "to do" list. I know I should make it a priority though... Hope your leg injury is not serious.

Try Kale chips Ali. You'll never know you're eating a vegetable. Rip up a bunch of curly Kale into chip size pieces. Toss in a tbsp each of olive oil and lemon juice, season with salt and paper. Place in a 400F oven for 12 minutes or until crispy. E and L go nuts for these.

I'm working on getting new evaluations with my son, Adam, too! He will be in 3rd grade next year. I'm anxious for the results because I know it will help us parent him more effectively and help him get the help at school that he needs.

I've seen so much growth and improvement from Adam in the last year. Like Simon, I know he will be just fine. But still, the testing is such a long process, and it always brings up a lot of emotions for me that I don't always think about from day to day.

Best of luck for continued success in your journey with Simon! :)

Love your wall of photos and can't wait for more info on your new class.

Wishing you the best! I hope everything your working on works out for the best and that you are up and running soon! Looking forwarding to that project class!

it's easy to get overwhelmed...don't forget to work on these one thing at a time! as a fellow runner i'm sorry to hear about the leg! p.t. is wonderful and you're smart to go that route. most people i know who have gone through it come out on the other side healed, more knowledgeable about their body, and stronger then ever!

I so feel for you with the injury! I have been a lifelong runner, and I have been sidelined since August with some mystery injury. I hope you get yours straightened out and are back on the road very soon. I love your photo wall!

I, too, am working on trying to keep everything in perspective. Love this post, Ali. Rings so true for so many of us.

I know you are the kind of person who'll do her homework, so hopefully the PT will get your leg back into healthy mode. I love sweet potato chips from our Amish market. It's those dark greens that I tend to balk about eating. :(

To you and the teachers and Simon's evaluaters, I'll just quote someone I hear ..Go Team! :-)

Best wishes on a good diagnosis and prognosis on your leg Ali!
