Day Ten

OK - Now we'll be caught up - going to try to not get into a lag again.. or at least try HARDER :) Thanks for your patience!

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had an amazing day.. just a quick funny story from work today that'll make you smile - One of my responsibilities while working at Qubeey is I get to create desktop music videos for different artists.. today's artist is known as Shorty Mack - he's pretty well known. I'd actually finished his video last week, but he was in-house today to view it..  I'll begin by telling you the name of his new song is "A**hole"... so you can see how this might have gone... instead of making it cheesy like it was begging for, I made it really, really cool with pop-up environments and some cool, old-school equalizer animation, etc.. When I heard the music piping in from the conference room I knew they were showing it, so I stood just inside the door and watched it play back.. He LOVED it.. well, that's an understatement.. he yelled out a few times.. and then when it was done LITERALLY jumped over the conference table and hugged me! I was TOTALLY not expecting it.. but he was SO happy.. pretty cool moment.. sometimes as an artist you get feedback, but that made my day!

OK - back to improving myself.. Something I'm going to touch on for a moment - remembering to live a thankful life.. BEING thankful for things that happen, things we have (our health, our family, etc.).. Giving Thanks. We go through our days, and our lives accepting what comes to us.. but do we ever take a chance to say "Thanks"? To a person, or to G*D? I was raised to be polite (I always say thank you, hold doors, etc.) and always thank people.. but since my experience with the cancer (*NOTE: you'll note that I never capitalize the letter 'c' in cancer.. doing so I believe gives it power and personality - two things it does not deserve - not in my life, and not in yours!) I remember to either close my eyes, or do a quick nod up to the sky and think "Thank You".. because, while I'm not necessarily a religious person, I feel that FAITH and BELIEF helped bring me through my sickness - and assisted in my continued healing. And believe me, being a husband and father with Stage 4 cancer - I was doing a lot of praying, and asking for a LOT of favors - the most important of which were answered, and I can never be grateful enough. The more we thank for what we get, the more comes to us - this I believe.

Ok, I think that's enough questioning the Universe for tonight.. :) Thanks for your continued support in my journey... challenges every day, but we can overcome anything we set our minds to.

Have a fantastic evening, and a wonderful morning tomorrow! Feel good!

-Pittle out.
