Quote for today

A good friend sent this over yesterday (very fitting for such a positive day), and a lot of you have prob read it before, but I thought I'd put it up:

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words.

Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviors.

Keep your behaviors positive because your behaviors become your habits.

Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values.

Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.

-Gandhi

Hard to always abide by this- but real true and worth a try!

So psyched for you Ando! We've all been thinking about you and now all our neighbors have been asking, "Why the Happy Dance?" My response, "Word!"
I've been wearing my Andy Dut bracelet since it arrived in the mail three days ago and think of you often. Can't tell you how relieved we all are. I'm sure there will be many tough days still to come, but you have gotten over the worst hurdles and we are all pulling for you. Great news from yesterday.My brother who is a cancer survivor swore by humor. Looks to me like you've already gotten that message. Love the posts.
Is it safe to say, Go Sox! Tell you what, you can have the next three in Denver and then we'll let the cards fall.
You've got a great team helping you through this. When I get more time I hope to read more comments, there's some great stuff here.
Love to all from Maine. Happy happy dance dance, happy, happy!!

Longtime reader, first time poster. Just wanted to say I that my thoughts, prayers, and hope are with you. So glad that you are feeling well and that things are going well. "Hope is the pillar that holds up the world. Hope is the dream of the waking man". Pliny Mucho props on the Rockies getting to the WS. And I cannot believe we just beat Florida.
Always,
Sarasotastadt

Your mama's quote reminded me of one I really like.

"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

I have found these words useful while staring at and worrying about this huge swelling in my throat that I did not have first surgery around. I am thinking, it's large, round, and slightly supicious.

Perhaps the time is now to laquer my face up, throw on a long curly wig with matching glitzy dress, six inch platform heels, hang out on South Beach looking for Paparatzi and introducing myself as Thyroidia Can Sir!

It's not a swelling to worry over, it is a faux Adam's Apple and an opportunity for a new career.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

Hope you both are feeling well and enjoying bad food with your good news this weekend.
