Happy Thanksgiving to all, I wanted to take this time to express my gratitude to everyone for all your support, kind/gentle words, and thoughts/prayers that has made this journey possible.  I want to provide all of you an update regarding my health while expressing gratitude to those closest to me for helping me achieve my bucket list goals.  First off to Nikki for being my daughter/nurse/workout advisor/writer and guidance counselor as to what I want to do and what I can do.  You have been there for me through all the tests and procedures but what really counts is knowing how much you are with me in everything I do or try to accomplish.  Molly thank you for being a great cheerleader and motivational influence.  Your willingness to take risks and get out of your comfort zone is a trait I will always admire and glad you have helped me continue to challenge myself.  Yes, Molly was my running partner in Atlanta as we completed the Atlanta Thanksgiving Day 1/2 marathon on 11/23.  I know I was probably going against medical advice BUT.... you helped me complete another bucket list item.   Finally, to Michelle, I really want to update you as to everything going on with me, but I want to be very respectful to you and Stacy when this happens.  Hopefully it will be a long chat, filled with gratitude but I also know we need to take the first step slowly and respectfully.  I want to wish you and Stacy a very happy 10th anniversary.  Gwen thank you for facing your fears as we travel this road.  Your love and support mean more than you can imagine.  To all my friends thank you.  I want to list all of you, but I am scared I would miss someone because I am blessed to have so many people walking this journey with me. To all the medical care providers and co-workers thank you for your advice, support, and allowing me to live a meaning full life while getting to help others on their journey's.  To Mike and Fred, please get healthy soon or at least before golf season, I need you in my life.  Finally thank you to all the readers/supporters of this page.  You cannot imagine how powerful your words and thoughts are.  I am truly blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life.
