THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING. Today, I participated in the Climb Tampa 2010 Fight for Air. It was a race to the top of the Bank of America Building - 42 Floors in 8 min, 45 sec. It was the perfect metaphor for life...no growth happens on top...it gets harder the higher you go...the view is much better the higher you go...You can go down very quickly, but it takes a lot of effort to get back up. If you get tired, you can always stop and rest, but ultimately we go up or down. No standing still. In the end, no matter what the result, the effort alone was always worth it.

THE SUN ALWAYS RISES AGAIN. SPRING ALWAYS COMES AND LIFE IS ALWAYS RENEWED. THESE ARE UNIVERSAL TRUTHS.
