A thought for any day

I want to focus on the big current issue of health care, but heard this this morning and wanted to share.

A thought from Jim Valvano's talk at the 1st Espy Awards program by ESPN in 1993, on the occasion of his acceptance of the inaugural Arthur Ashe Courage and Humanitarian Award, when he announced the creation of the "Jimmy V Foundation", an organization dedicated to finding a cure for cancer.

He had been diagnosed with bone cancer the previous year and would die two months after this talk.

"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. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."

Take care.
