Show intro: “With the 127th Boston Marathon coming up this Monday, this week’s edition of the Joy Beat celebrated the incredible Bobbi Gibb, who is now 80. She joined All Things Considered host Arun Rath to discuss her feat and her life.”
“It has to be coming from love. It’s not coming from hate. It’s not coming from fear. It’s coming from love. When you tune into that love, you feel that that’s the basis of joy. That’s the basis of joy in your life and your sense of wonder, your sense of “Wow, we’re alive on planet earth.” Isn’t that great? Let’s celebrate.”
