COT: Some of you know I had major brain surgery back in 2001. The first diagnosis was that I had 5 years of good life and maybe 10 years total to live. Great news – the diagnosis was wrong – but that event changed my life. It’s my birthday – another year that I was told I wouldn’t’ have. I don’t wish that scare on anyone – but I count myself lucky to have had that happen to me – to get my priorities square and not to be afraid to push harder for what I want and to also live more in alignment to who I am.
It has brought me an incredible journey with a beautiful family, accomplishments at work and most recently the fellowship, relationships and improved health through this group. I have many things I struggle with and continuing to work on – like my issues with anger and being a fully engaged husband and father. It’s my birthday – 47 years of life completed – year 48 underway. Blessed to be here; blessed to have the year ahead; and blessed to have you guys in my life. So to you all I say thank you. Poem: Time Is Swift Pluck the rose while blooming;
Now ’tis fresh and bright;
Wait not till to-morrow;
Time is swift in flight.

Do thy deeds of kindness
Ere to-morrow’s light;
What may come, we know not;
Time is swift in flight.

Would’st thou make life useful.
Work before ’tis night;
Else thou’lt be regretting.
Time is swift in flight.
