We went to my daughter's XC meet this past weekend. Six hour drive through the Fall countryside. Nice. Love this shot of the girls on the starting line. I was on my knees when I took it!
Here she is finishing up the 5K.
Now, waiting her turn in the shoot after the race. Not a "pretty" shot, but ya know what?
It's good to see young women being strong. Oh, she loves her lipgloss and glittered headbands... don't get me wrong there. But I'm a firm believer that strength is very beautiful. So is she.
Absolutely agree with you...strength is beautiful:)

Teresa, I've read your blog over the past year and felt such a kindred spirit. My youngest graduated from high school this past May and we experienced so many of the same emotions and events as you and your daughter. My daughter is at college 2 1/2 hours away and plays lacrosse. There will be numerous 4 -5 hour (one way) drives to watch her play this coming March and April, but I'll relish every minute of it!

Agreed! Physical strength is beautiful - it builds confidence and leads right into personal strength!
