I want to live while I'm alive.

MC - I love that concept - it is a palpable feeling I have every day. To be in motion. Hit a brick wall at 80 mph and just say f$%k it - dust yourself off and keep going. My dad always told me that we truly don't learn from our successes - the euphoria of achieving something takes us away and we typically don't get too reflective. He continues by saying, "it is when you get knocked off the shit wagon and are bruised, dazed, and wobbly, one tends to get a little humble and reflective. These are the character-building moments of our lives.

I love my sister's line - "you can't steer a parked car." Yup!

Faith is truly about taking steps when the path is not clear. Courage is not the absence of fear...it is acknowledging you are scared shitless and press forward anyway.

MC - yes, I have swung from the chandeliers (as you - apparently - did). I did not get caught with my skirt caught in my underwear on the dance floor (I actually got away with it! ...just kidding!).

Here's to living life to the fullest...while we can.

Thank you!
