Team Gleason - No White Flags

"To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day."

The above quote is from Jimmy V's infamous ESPY's speech given just months before cancer took his life. I could listen to that speech every morning, and it would fire me up every time.

I was moved to tears last fall. Not just teary eyed, but actual crying. I was watching ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown when they previewed a segment featuring my all-time favorite band, Pearl Jam, that caught my attention.

The beauty of this post is that I don't have to write much. Watch the clip. It speaks volumes.

Nothing is promised to anyone. Someone is going to tell your story. I want to be the narrator of my story.

This blog is for my children. I love them so much.
