COT:
Dad always was keeping us busy – sending us to the park, playing neighborhood-style baseball, football, hockey; going fishing. He was hampered in his later years from the after-effects of cancer and old age. Just reinforces to me the need to keep going, staying active for as long as I can. One of the many lessons I learned from him and still need to learn.

CoT:
“One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.” – Tony Robbins

Ended with the Gonzaga Prayer:
It’s the beginning of a new day
God’s given us the day to do his will
We can waste it
Or use it for good
For what we do today
Will change the course of our lives forever
We want to be good
Not evil
Success
Success
Success
Not failure
Knowing this
May we never forget the price we pay
Amen
