Usually 6 days a week Nana comes over to my house to watch my kids and I hurry off to work. I hate being away from my babies. It never gets easier, but as I drive away from them I try to count my blessings. I am blessed beyond measure to be a daddy, to have a Nana who loves her grandkids beyond words, to have a good job/car/home, to have survived combat in hell on earth, to be a live. And another big blessing I am thankful for is you. Each and every one of you. I don't know where you are at in your life or fitness journey right now. But I want you to look in the mirror. What do you see? Wait, wait stop. Let me tell you what I SEE! I see a beautiful, sexy, gorgeous, confident, lovely, elegant, kind, generous, wonderful, person. I see a conquering warrior who bends but never ever breaks. I see a fierce fighter who is absolutely unstoppable! I also see someone who is an absolute blessing to all their friends & family. A true blue miracle to everyone in their life. You are all simply spectacular
Now go out today and have fun. Go out and kick some butt my loves. I am so proud of you all.
Love & Blessings,
Ed

    Awwwwww, how lovely!

    More people should be appreciative of what they have, rather than focusing on what they don't have, so thank you for your uplifting post! :flowerforyou:

    :flowerforyou: Thank you so much for that Solder Dad Ed, I so needed it right now.
    I needed to be reminded that things may be difficult for me right now, but unfortunately, there is always someone else who is going through worse, so we all need to remember that each day a blessing and be thankful that we are still here and able to keep fighting whatever it is we might be going through and be glad that there are people like you in this world to help encourage us to keep going and be strong and enjoy what we do have.
    Thank you for all you did for us in your service to our country and all you do for us now just by being you.
    God Bless

    I walk the path of past warriors, trying to see their sandy foots, gaining their strength until I myself have the confidence to make my own path in the sand:-) Step HARD PEOPLE!!! Smiles, you all are awesome:-D
