Thanksgiving Week-end and Gratitude

Thanksgiving Day and Gratitude


All the best on a day we have a lot to be thankful for. Sports, like life, are a true test of a person's intangibles. Lifetime relationships are developed over a short period of time because of the dynamics of the sport, demands of the job and the people we have the opportunity to meet through our travels. You are one of those special ones.

The game of hockey, like life, is full of people in all capacities who know the value of validating and anointing themselves beyond other's beliefs, words, feelings and evaluations. We learn early on that we control our own destiny by acquiring the skill to express our skills.
Others do not validate our worth and success. We were put on this earth to validate and anoint ourselves.

We all recognize the need for support systems in every person's life, but it still comes down to each of us just "getting it done". This process has a way of separating the strong from the Wannabe; people who believe they can make a difference versus people who just think they can be something. Only the strong will survive!

Keep supporting each other and the results will be dynamic. We are all part of something much bigger than all of us combined, namely, our organization, team, each person's life and career.

Our recent date with the Cup brought together a group of people that showed the role unconditional love and respect plays in our lives. It was one of the highlights of my lifetime. Everyone seemed to be so proud to be a part of something that was unique and a part of our lives. Thanks to all who put in the time to make it a very special day to remember. Pictures can be found on the camp website.
