Being thankful and blessed takes on a special meaning to me this Thanksgiving holiday. I’d like to share that in early November I had my very first emergency visit and first ever surgery in my lifetime for what’s called an AAA. (abdominal aortic and iliac aneurysm). After a 4 hour surgery and numerous stents a team of vascular doctors saved my life. I’m hanging out in rehab getting stronger by the day with my mental capacity still sharp and positive attitude bringing me closer to being HOME SWEET HOME.
I’m thankful for my family, work staff and lifetime friends for words of encouragement, cards, texts and, I’ll get those phone calls returned soon.
I’m looking forward to resuming all my joys of my weekly paper route, Lions Club, my investment club, Sunday men’s coffee and my weekly trips to Black Hawk/Central City as publisher of The Weekly Register Call newspaper. My love for our newspapers keeps me going as I’m passionate and privileged about what I get to do everyday.
Live each day to the fullest and get up everyday and fight for what you believe in to thrive and survive. Find meaning and purpose in your life. I have always admired hard work and dedication for whatever you do in life! Don’t settle! Don’t just sit on the sidelines of life. Make a difference, like the nonprofits being featured in this weeks paper!
This Thanksgiving go do GOOD things or kindly support those that do!
Blessings to all of you!
