A New Year reflection

Shoveling out of 14 inches of Northeast Ohio lake-effect snow, it didn't dawn on me right away how fortunate I really am at the dawn of this new year. To begin with, and most importantly, my family and I are healthy. My daughter Taryn has recently gotten engaged and she and her fiance visited for the Holidays from Florida (they hoped to see snow but missed it by a week). And today my new book "Beckoned" was released.

All in all a fabulous start to 2008!
