I have always been physically active. In my time in the military I was required to have an extremely high level of fitness to perform successfully. I am a civilian now, but I still hold myself to those standards I learned through a lot of sweat and a whole lot of pain. There is nothing more satisfying than to push yourself up to and past your absolute limits, and to then realize that those limits only existed in your mind. There is no substitute for a strong mental attitude. Passion breeds success.
Gabriel and James I love you and miss you more than you know. Your dad will be home soon.
