Cheerleading Squad

Recently I had the Honor to cheer on my family, friends and people I did not know on their bike journey from Cloverdale to Seattle. People from all walks of life riding together with the same goal. To raise money to fight cancer and to finish a race. You probably wouldn't guess it but I'm actually a very shy introvert person. As a matter of fact the hats that I thought were so cute in the store ended up getting allot more attention than I had bargained for. I guess I didn't really think through the big picture. But maybe that's a good thing. The hats were so that our loved ones participating in the ride would recognise us immediately. Little did I think "the Canadian girls from Calgary?'" would cause such a stir. So I swallowed my pride and cheered loudly. Sometimes I was ignored, other times I made  difference in someones journey. How do I know? Thank you was uttered so many times. Thank you for helping me. Thank you for saying you care. Thank you because I was at the end of my strength output. Thank you because I don't have to walk this alone. It was shown on their faces and felt in their heart. So what happens when there is not a finish line in sight just yet? What happens when the valleys in our life or the obstacles there get too big? What happens when we stop being a cheer leader? Our neighbours house is for sale. They are separating. What happened? Who stopped cheering? Cheering doesn't mean I will always like the journey or the outcome. I was not raised to cheer lead, it does not come naturally to me. But I am a survivor and being that its my job to cheer others on. So here goes;
