Grateful


I am grateful for many things these days, small things that are often overlooked and taken for granted in particular.

I am grateful to my wife, Susan, who when awakened at one thirty this morning instantly attended to my “burning feet”.

I am grateful that I could make the start of the JFK to run up South Mountain with John Kippen.

I am grateful that as I drove home the sun poked it's head over the mountain pointing the way back home, simply spectacular and wonderful that I could enjoy it.

This could go on for some time but I think you all get it, so I ask one thing of everybody. Find one every day activity you take for granted and think how grand it really is. It may be the smell of that first cup of coffee brewing in the pot, enjoy it.

Happy Birthday Trish, I love you !

  1. Mike...YOU are my inspiration! When I began working for ACS almost 5 years ago (and volunteering before that) I learned that counting blessings makes the road easier. I never overlook a beautiful sunrise...or even the beauty is a foggy morning (although sometimes the blessing is that I don't have to drive in that fog). :o)

    Thanks for sharing your journey with us!! And today, I am thankful for you.
