Gratitude

With July 4th marking the 18th anniversary of my TBI, the latest MTSB blog post pulls double duty: Sharing gratitude for my own recovery and the amazing opportunity RAWZ has given me to be a part of a dedicated team of people who've contributed over $3.2 million to helping people and pets since 2015 with pet parents and independent pet specialty retailers!

After all, with comfort resulting from the predictability of future events, joy and success being difficult to guarantee; the risk of opting for a predictable outcome of difficulty and misery can be appealing and achieved through self-sabotage.

That said, I will be taking a bit of Spring Break myself! I can almost hear my grandfather, Jim Scott Sr., commenting, “Listen to this one, in his 40’s and he still thinks he has Spring Break!”

And while I jest about “all” the devoted fans of More Than a Speed Bump’s posts, a few conclusions can be drawn by the fact of some variance in my posting:

The family would combine their love of cycling, connections within the cycling community, and passion for KBIC to raise funds for the amazing nonprofit organization. Since the inaugural King Challenge in 2011, the King Challenge has raised well over a million dollars to help KBIC carry out its mission of “improving the lives of people living with acquired brain injury.”

All in all, 2023 was another great year. And although I’m not a fan of cold weather, I’m struck how blessed I am to have Clooney and the amazing David Krempels Brain Injury Center community to return back to: Have a blessed 2024!
