To all my blogger family…I want to take this time to wish you and your loved ones only the best of health and internal peace.
I have not forgotten anyone of you and apologize for the long intermission of blogs.
I have been battling on quite a few fronts and now part of my plan (a necessary part) is that I will be going into the hospital Today….snow allowing for it!
I do not look at this as a defeat but rather an opportunity, a chance to get well physically so that I can face some of my demons on a daily basis.
Winners do not get up one morning and there is a “Gold Medal” around there neck. True winners face a journey one of which we really do not know…but we face it. As it comes up we deal with it and try to make the best of it.
So to you my friend a bid you a temporary ado and leave you with this corny but true statement….
A winner never quits and a quitter never wins…
I walk into this new battle not knowing what is ahead but I do have my tools… my wife and son, my family and friends, the best of doctors, my willingness not to give up and my Faith. I believe that I am in the best of hands...
Have a great New Year, Let 2011 be a year for you….
Love
Mike

This was a great X-Mas gift because I think about you so often and have been worried about you. I wish you the absolute best in your continued work with your health. We know that true winners never give up, and I understand, as so many of us out here do, how difficult this really is. You know Babe Ruth struck out over 1300 times in his career, and no one remembers that. They only remember his victories. Focus on all those little victories including the first one which is your willingness to get the treatment that you need. We all love you and are pulling for you and we look forward to hearing from you after you're had some time to heal.
I was also quite worried, and am glad to see you post. You are walking into this experience with lots of love and support and your blog buddies will all be sending positive energy and thoughts your way. I completely agree that 2011 needs to be a year for ourselves..I think we all need to focus more on our own individual journeys regardless of how truly difficult that may be.
So, just know that we here are all thinking of you and wishing you all of the best in this week and the coming year. Each day is another opportunity to turn it all around.

Hi Mike
I have been a follower of your blog for a couple of years now and never knew what to write. Although there were plenty of times I had things to say. I just have to tell you that you are an amazing man and like that bunny with the batteries you keep on going and the best part of it is that you keep on motivating others like myself to keep on gpoing. Thank you...Chris ND
You never cease to amaze me and inspire me. You are a living legend in this battle, one who never gives up.

Hello Michael. Your's is a struggle that is foreign to me, but we all have struggles. You give much dignity to your's.
