Family first

Let's all be thankful for good health and the blessings and joys of life. My day started as normal with a run and a hour lifting in the gym. After work and running multiple errands, I went to visit my mother in the hospital who is suffering from pneumonia, fluid on the lungs, and an infection in her blood. Though she will get better, quickly I was humbled and forced to appreciate my health and life in general. You never know how quickly things can be snatched from you. Be aware of the gifts and abilities you have. Use time wisely because the clock stops for no one. Cherish and nourish yourself to be the best you can be at any given moment. Being practical, you know that your best is dependent upon the circumstances in you life. Your effort though can remain constant. Riding a bed in the hospital can't stop my mom from being the best mother in the world. Still she guides, supports, and offers herself. Amazing. I'm just going to work at being the best father I can be. I can bear to go a day without running. I can't bear to go a day without the little girl that calls me daddy, or the woman I call mother.
