Thank you Chicago Cubs.
Thank you for teaching me: ...what hope and faith really mean. ...that community comes out of suffering. ...that there is always next year. ...and to keep fighting. Thank you for giving me: ...yearly memories of going to Wrigley Field with my mom. ...sitting in the den watching WGN with my grandfather. ...heroes like Ron Santo, Ernie Banks, Ryan Sandberg, and so many more incredible people (not just ballplayers) to look up to and admire. Thank you for all the joy and for all the agony because life is really about both. And thank you for showing me a team that never quit, that lifted each other up, and achieved the unbelievable. I am indebted to you for all you have given me, so much more than a simple championship. Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago What Do You Say...

You already know what I'm about to tell you. The secret to a happier life isn't a secret at all. You just need to be reminded and it won't ask that much of you. If you are anything like me, the day can get pretty filled up with lots of concrete things clamoring for your attention. What's on my agenda today? What items need to be checked off my list? Who needs this or that? Get here by this time and there by that time. Kids fed. Check. Emails answered. Check. Groceries. Check. Bills. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. But what if instead of standing in the shower worrying about all that has to get done, you took one minute to feel each water drop hit you skin?  What if as you sit at your desk all day long doing things, you took a few minutes to look deeply and anew at the things that sit there all day with you?  What if for five minutes a day, you reminded yourself to stop and be in awe of the world around you?  How might your life change?
