A friend in my apartment building asked me if I would like to join their family on a 5 KM walk over two bridges in Portland on the 17th of May. I like to walk so. of course, I said yes. We are walking for an organization called NAMI and that includes all kinds of mental illness. My friend has done it for 5 years already. This will be my first time.
Of course, the organizers want you to collect financial support for NAMI. I am usually too timid to ask anyone for support but I did ask a few friends at church and, through their generosity and my small donation, ended up with $105.00. THESE generous people that contributed to my pledges are my blessing this week. Thank you! I am so glad that our donations can help people in WA state even tho we are walking in OR.
Soooooooooooo, thank you, Yvonne, Elaine, Kathy G., Kathy H., Eunice, Gretchen, Roni, George and Joyce and me! You are a blessing to me and NAMI.

Well, we made it althought the weather was above 85 during the walk! I took quite a few photos so hope to share some later on. Three miles is not too far to walk usually but the heat and the slowness we had to proceed made it seem like a longer walk and I am glad to be home.

Blessings as you walk and as you give of yourself in service to others, Paulie.
You are a good egg. I am glad you did that. You are a good neighbor, too! I think no contribution is small.
This is such a nice blessing :) If everyone helped just a little bit what a better place this world would be. :) Happy BYB Sunday, and I hope you have a goodly week ahead :)
Such events always make me smile. Great that you'll be taking part.
You're one of the good ones, Paulie... The blessing is you for all your efforts!
