Positive Attitude ... Keep Moving!

Great Grandpa & Grandma Bryan with baby Quinn
One constant with my parents, especially my Mother, is the fact they stay positive and are always on the go!  Pictured here, they are in our home this past Summer visiting during Chelsea's graduation from High School and having a Memorial Day cookout with other family members - featuring Quinn Everly Walsh, our first Grand Baby from Patrick and Jenny Walsh.

The endurance my parents support comes from the inner drive of my Mom (Dad would agree).  She gets it honest as her parents had the same fortitude.  She is the passion of my Father and mega-horn blast in his spirit to get moving everyday.   Like it or not, he moves and goes more places than ever dreamed.  This is what keeps them active and young looking. Could you tell these people are in their mid-70's?  They are committed to family, faith, and friends - sometimes all at the same time, but most importantly each other.

If you were ever to meet my parents and they knew you were a friend or colleague of mine, YOU would instantly be in their life and they would love you.  It's part of the passion of being positive and having a good attitude of life.   Of course, I think it is simply a by-product of their gratitude of God's love of them - that they in turn share with others.  Isn't that how we are suppose to live?  What is wrong is wrong, but what is right keep doing ... Keep Moving!

I love you Dad and Mom - thank you for being an excellent example to me, my family, and our friends.  We love your positive attitude, even when things don't go right.

A special shout out to Mom, who will celebrate another birthday Sunday, January 16th!
