  • So many things to think about but nothing to worry about. That's a maxim that I do my best to follow. We should not go through life worrying about things as opposed to think about how to make things better. Worrying, in and of itself, does not yield any solutions. So let's not spend so much time worrying. Let's think about the problems and come up with solutions. We all know that there is much in the world that can be better. There is no greater source of pride than being able to make it a little better for someone else.

    I received a call on Thursday that I have moved on to the next round of testing to become a bone marrow donor. I go in for a blood collection tomorrow and they will test my blood further. I am still not a sure thing yet. I have heard of people going through four rounds of testing and still being turned away. It is out of my hands at this point.

    On Friday, I addressed a few high school students and just urged them to go after their dreams. It meant a lot when one called me afterward and told me that it inspired him. If I touched just one, that was good enough for me.
