Lots To Be Thankful For, Happy Holidays!

 Posted on December 23, 2009 in Social Security Disability

I want to thank everyone who emailed me and posted encouraging responses to my previous blog post, "Mike Phillips: One Thumb To Rule Them All." I also want to be clear that while I made the blog post, it was Mike who went through the time and effort to create the video. Mike's remarkable endeavors, including becoming a master video game player, while having spinal muscular atrophy, is truly an inspiration for everyone. Mike's story is a clear example of overcoming the odds against you to succeed in life.

With the holiday season in motion and after reading everyone's responses to my previous blog post, I just want to say that this truly is a season to be thankful. It is easy to get caught up in the pressures and complexities of every day life and to forget that just being alive is a blessing. Being able to spend the holidays with family and loved one's is something to cherish. Since my next blog post won't be until Sunday, I want to wish everyone happy holidays from us at Illinois Social Security Disability Blog!
