11/26/2007: "Thanksgiving"


What a great holiday week–end! There was so much to be thankful for. I hope everyone else enjoyed time to themselves and time with family. For me, it was all about getting together with great friends and family. I get such a charge of love and energy from everyone. We are all so thankful to be here and (relatively) healthy.

I have to admit that most every day is Thanksgiving for me. Each morning when I open my eyes and put my feet on the floor, I am thankful. I have had my share of ups and downs and maybe that is why I have become so much more appreciative of the “good days.” I feel lucky to be mobile and able to carry on. I can still drive myself around, get out and see a concert (even dance with some oxygen help) and enjoy a party with friends.

It was my birthday this past week (number 48 if you are counting) and I was so thankful to be able to “feel the love.” Great to make another milestone and be around to lovemy wife and watch my children grow. Nick’s 13th birthday is this week and I am amazed at how big he has grown. He has really sprouted into his teenage years and I am so happy to be around for it.

There is always an option to be depressed about your health or situation. The beauty is that there is also the option to choose another attitude about it all. To be thankful for each day and each moment spent here on earth.
