Comments on: How Are We Doing? http://www.thirtyseconds.us/how-are-we-doing/ Our Thirty Seconds is a journey on which we are both passenger and pilot. We make hopeful choices every moment of every day, some more noteworthy than others. Ultimately these choices fill our Thirty Seconds...

You not only survived a major crisis you are thriving. I went to the program at Elite last week and throughly enjoyed it. It makes you stop and think. I would like 5 more "some days" books for gifts for family for Christmas and not sure if Elite placed this order with not. If they have not how can I secure them by next week Wednesday. You are an inspiration. Thank you. Tracy Andy: This is so beautiful and a touching tribute to your wife. You not only survived a major crisis you are thriving.

What an extremely touching and motivating comment. I'm always so grateful to people like you who take the time to watch and visit my blog...and then add insight of your own. BTW...I LOVE music...like everybody I suppose...but I took a break from it after diagnosis and I'm not sure why. There is a person who helped me learn to listen to it again...but it's a long road. Hmmmm...I think I need to investigate that some more. Anyhow...I most certainly WILL contact you for the righteous rock 'n roll. (I'm a bluesman myself. Mississippi Delta...slide.) Be good...and thank you so much for the comment! Bruce…wow. What an extremely touching and motivating comment.

Well, here's one of those days - so much on the plate, the holidays, so behind with so many 'things to do', running the business, launching two new ones and the nagging feeling of it all slipping away, whine, whine, whine and then.....pffpht! Sharp, clear perspective. Any day with air in the lungs is a good, good one. You, sir - who you are the core - has been captured, I sense here. Thanks for sharing the face of 'weight', 'sadness' in some of those shots but you need to know this....there's an awesome, fighting spirit in soul of your children you captured. That is what hit me right in the chest. True, children are resilient and adapt in ways adults can only begin to fathom and reach. Yet, similarly, true --- They hurt in different ways, in the same unreachable, confusing manner. It's clear: Your doing as great of job as could be imagined and hoped for 4/5 months(I gather) on - it's there in the short collages of your children. You are on your way to your futures.... You guys are tribe - pulling together to live life onward. Your doing it. (and, well, what choice do you have as a father, right?) What God does with the emptyness, pain and lonliness is yet to be determined for you all(it will be covered) - but the strength of your family is clear here on the outside to this father and husband in Colorado. Your wife is very, very proud of you all. Drop me an email - I work in the music biz. Let me send you a package of cheery 'n righteous rock 'n roll(it's what I do), if you want. It's not a video of a peek into my soul as yours is but i feel the need to share something if you honor me w/ that.... Bruce Brodeen, son of a breast cancer survivor and friend of too many who weren't Hey Andy….
