Merry Christmas

hello all!!!

hope you're all having a happy and healthy holiday season. what a year it's been - and after what we've learned about faith, hope, and love; i wouldn't trade it for the world. i've been working out regularly, really trying to pay attention to the body as a whole - and being active has continued to sharpen my mental focus as well. jenny and i went with our good friends jess and vince to cut down our Christmas tree - when we got to the tree farm i remarked to jessica that without the battle with lymphoma i don't think i would have taken the time to go the mountains and do that. although i've always had a pretty positive outlook, i feel that battling the illness has woken a sleeping giant. so look out world, here we come!!!

the new year is typically a time for resolutions - so i'm asking each of you this year to really look at what the important things are in your life and truly be thankful for them. the people, memories, etc. are all gifts that should be used as tools to help celebrate the good times and weather the bad ones. i can tell you all with conviction that going through a valley in life is quite inspirational and as my friend adam says, now whenever i need motivating i can just remember my own story instead of looking to someone else. also. know this - when you find yourself in a valley, you are never alone - God walks with you, heck he carries you!!!

much love to all of you for being there for me to lean on - i'll be right behind you waiting to return the favor. travel safe over the holiday.
