guilt
So a few weeks ago I posted that I was going to participate in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
But I never signed up, and didn't participate in the walk.
No excuse, just my own inertia.
I didn't participate in 2012, I had a commitment for a charitable event at my snyagogue the very same day.
But before that...well, I've done the walk every year since...
Well, since 2006. When I did the walk out of gratitude for being alive. To prove that I could do the walk. To raise money for the American Cancer Society, an organization that helped me through the dark days of 2005...my uterine cancer diagnosis and successful treatment.
So when I saw the photos pooping up on Facebook, on the news websites...
Guilt.
I will try to do better next year.
