Cancer – The Scourge That Keeps On Taking

Today the terrible beast that is cancer once again rears its ugly head in our life. My sister-in-law begins her chemotherapy today at our local cancer center – and our thoughts are certainly with her and her family as they begin this unwelcome process. My wife’s brother, Scott, has rather eloquently written his thoughts online in his own unique style: The Bad News; It’s Cancer.

They aren’t "resolutions" as much as they are areas of my personal life in which I aspire to be active this year.
