Good News Weekly (4 Jan 2014)

Happy New Years.  As I did last week I had asked my friends out there serve up their good news.  I fills me with a warm fuzzy feeling with the participation and the sharing.  It could be the coffee combined with the antibiotics but I prefer to think of is as a reaction to a social interaction.  In any case, there is some great things out there that need to be repeated.

Good news for the week of 4 January 2014

• I was reminded that my grandparents would have celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary this week.  I think back and cannot find a better example of two people that were totally in love with and devoted to one another.  I miss you John and Rose.
• Donna's son is getting into the guitar lessons he is taking with the new axe he got from Santa.  On top of that the family is healthy and made it through the season relatively on scathed.
• Doc Weiss decided not to try and stop me from my trip next week. We are at a better understanding about the team approach to this cancer thing.
•  Helen's father will be 73 on Tuesday, and he still goes out and runs/powerwalks everyday (depends on the weather and surface; he tries not to run on concrete anymore, because of his knees).
• Josie let us know that it stopped snowing in Cleveland for a little bit.  I remember those old days in Cleveland during the winter.  Some of my best runs were during that time.
• Danniele found out that Edzo's (a great burger place in downtown Evanston) offers a small order of cheese fries!  Now she just needs to convince them to add a small milkshake to the menu and I'll have the perfect meal for after 50+ mile bike rides.
• Christina's son Jonathan's A1c came down at his last check-up and while on vacation he's had blood sugar #'s all under 200. That's pretty rocking! Here's to a lower A1c at Monday's check up! 
• Maggie is really happy that her son and family are coming down to Florida for a visit.  I am looking forward to it as well.  
• Melissa has washed, folded and put away all of the laundry.  This seems trivial but it is a big event in my house as well to get the laundry totally finished.   

That is an amazing set of good news.  Thanks for sharing guys.  I sincerely hope you keep sharing.  It will be  awesome to keep this up.  See you next week.  If you have anything to add please feel free to drop in the comments.
