hello world

January 23rd, 2008 by mike

thank you for your support and for keeping me in your prayers. when i see all of your comments on the blog i feel energized. reading all of your words takes me to places i cant go right now because i am so restricted. in a way its like being in jail. kind of. sometimes its hard to think of what to say but what i have learned is that life is short and there are no guarantees it is hard to remember how i feel sometimes but if you ask how i feel about my recovery i feel like a bull. as long as everyone has hope it keeps me alive. i really do mean keep hope alive it is my slogan

    Mike! It was absolutely incredible to read your post today! It’s so good to hear from you! I was having a not so great morning but after reading that, I can’t even be stressed anymore. Thank you for that!

    I was actually thinking about you this morning b/c I walked down to Starbucks and I remembered how you and I walked to the super far one since we didn’t know there was one right around the corner from our building. But it was a nice day that day and the company wasn’t too bad ; )

    Hope is very alive, Mike, and I’m thinking about you all the time!
