I have been to a rodeo--after reading the Les Wright story I felt like a calf with a rope tied around three hooves, flat on the ground, but weirdly happy. You roped me in with this one. Merry Christmas.

Well, that’s an interesting metaphor.

What a wonderful story. The man I am seeing now had cancer 7 years ago. After intense chemotherapy and removal of his stomach, he is cancer free and only has to see his cancer doctor once a year. He just got another clean bill of health about a week and a half ago. Must be God was saving him for me. 😊

That's a beautiful story. My 18 year old daughter lost a child hood friend to bone cancer. He was diagnosed with it in his ankle around Christmas four years ago. It was aggressive and he died in his mother's arms the following fall. It was just so so sad, the nicest little boy leaving us before his life really started. This story makes me sad, reminding me of him, but very happy another little boy beat it and has a rich life and a family. Thank you

How about do the opposite, but for the same reason?

Instead of being wistful or thankful and happy about major life successes

just think of watching the snow fall (with nowhere to go) or a smile

A tasty salad

the simple things that make life so pleasant.

enjoy those

God bless them. No person should have to go through that pain but what a wonderful ending. I am grateful everyday for the good health for those I love and myself. There is nothing more important. Wishes for a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Ken, your family and everyone reading your column.

With all the frustrations, unhappiness, and frankly ugliness that we are confronted with each day on the news, what a wonderful and uplifting Christmas story. And our Queensbury Christmas tree looks beautiful. May it give those who see it a smile on their face and a spring in their step. Merry Christmas Ken and a Happy New Year!
