Sometimes it’s like climbing Mount Everest. I’ve never done this, but this is how I imagine it … some days, the very enormity and awesomeness of the quest – coupled with the fact that you’ve been allowed to progress this far – is enough to carry you through the day. Other times, it’s the little things – the rocks under your feet, the smell of the air, the cry of a small bird.
But sometimes, sometimes you get out of your tent in the morning, look around, and say “Well shit, I’m still on this damn mountain.” I’m having one of those days today. On days like that, what gets you through?
Maybe nothing more than the love God put inside you. And on days like this, that is enough.
This is an email Anita sent me on Thursday, October 02, 2008 9:18 AM.









HOLY SHIT…I only said that because she wrote “shit” in her email. Your wife amazes me every day. Thanks again, Greg!
It’s amazing to be allowed this window to Anita’s inner self. She, and you Greg, are teaching me and inspiring me every day.
