The miles of the journey in life, to include the discipline of endurance sports, and the struggles to live out my faith, have often provoked and provided spiritual and inspirational revelations, as well as a heighened awarenesss and appreciation for my many blessings. This work is my attempt to share those miles in hopes others might be blessed as well. https://booklocker.com/books/12152.html

Expectation to Appreciation
"You're in pretty good health," the nurse told me. It wasn't the first time in this recent health care episode that a nurse told me that. There was always an element of surprise in that statement, like it was something sort of unusual, especially for one my age. I certainly don't think I am genetically superior or just naturally healthy. Good health is something I work for, deny myself for, remain vigilant for. Sorry to say, but I have come to expect good health and great days, and expanded capability. All is well for now but the recent experience has given me a new appreciation of each day. My sensitivity is more intense. My moment by moment awareness is more keen. And, I have more appreciation than expectation, of good health, great days, and expanded capability. Today- I AM in good health. Thank you God !
