Today I went on an organized walk to support the Alexandria House. I think this is the third or fourth time I have done this walk at Bunker Hills Park in Coon Rapids. Three of us walked together this time. I got a free flu shot from the Walgreens table. I had about five layers on because I wanted to get warm and when I had to get down to the camisole layer for the nurse with the needle I had goose bumps on top of other goose bumps. I might look a little chubby in the photo because I got some other shirts for a couple of other coworkers who couldn't make it so instead of carrying them I put them on because I was so cold. It was 38 degrees this morning! We were freezing out there in the wind. Some moments were especially sad. I groaned out loud when the name of a woman I worked with was read. I had to cry. I just had to. Then the music started playing. Dogs were barking. Babies were crying. We soon cheered up and marched on the trails together talking and laughing and having a good old time. I wish our society was different so we didn't have to have things like the Walk for Hope or the Alexandria House.
