Hazer......thank you for sharing.
99.9% of the time i can let stuff not get to me. What happened, i can't get into. I wish i could, so you and others would understand, but some things have to remain in me.
It's better today.......i made it through.
It was just a real bad night.
But like they say.........what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. And it was close, for sure!
I REALLY appreciate all you have said. And my heart goes out to you for what you have had to go through. I have a strong belief/faith in God, and believe things happen for a reason. I don't know WHY you are having to go through what you are, but there HAS to be a purpose for it.
What i went through, right now i sure don't see anything good or a good reason, but there has to be one.
THANK YOU AGAIN my friend!

"Nonstopdrivel"Wow. Just wow.
Thank you for this, Dave.

To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.

"Cancer can take away all of my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart, and it cannot touch my soul. And those three things are going to carry on forever. I thank you and God bless you all.

jimmy v & my dad had alot in common.
my dad was not a famous coach, didn't win any awards, & doesn't have a foundation named after him though.
he was just a simple farmer who had the very same beliefs that jimmy talked about in his speech.
believe it or not, this didn't make me cry but reminded me of my resolve to live my life to the fullest, cherish the moments, learn something every day, & be a positive force in the lives of my boys - just like my dad.

Cheesey my Grandmother always tells me the problems i have are stepping stones to help me get across the river.
As you can tell i listen to my grandmother alot.

She's a VERY smart woman!
Hold onto her........give her a hug from me, ok?

Happy New Year my green and gold friends.

Another bit of wisdom I was given this past Holiday season that pulled me through the fight of my life:
"There are no such things as problems.
Only challenges.
And challenges are just character building opportunities."

Another:
"Never compare yourself to any other person, it's not fair.
You always compare your worst with someone elses best."

I know what I went through is nothing compared to what the rest of the world goes through.
But those definitely helped me.
More like rocked me.
