Favorite: Rays Phoenix Ride

8 PM. Tired. Two kids down. Dishes down. Ready to rest. Damnit, time to pull it together. Throw on some mascara, change your pants and look alive. Be present to the moment. 

Needed to head over to our church and represent Mobile Loaves & Fishes. It's an organization I volunteer for to feed our homeless brothers and sisters of San Antonio. My turn to run our table. 

Show up. Get banner. Get pamphlets. Wait. Be cheerful. Give info. Mingle. Smile. Stay present. Meet  people. Discuss mission. Stay present.... Then bam. Meet a person who is so totally interesting. 

His name is Ray. He's not from here.  He's passing through. Riding his bike from Cali to Florida. Why? Who does this (other than Karen :)?? His son was burned. What? Is he ok? No, well not really, but he's alive. How bad? 85%. Damn. Unimaginable. Flash backs of graphic nursing movies. Worst nightmare. For myself, possibly. For my child, definitely. He rides for his son. Best part... he blogs!!!!!

Love. Glad to be present. Glad I can be present. Blessed.
