I have been blessed to live on this earth for 63 years. I have been through blizzards, droughts, and have seen a good part of this world. My heart however lies in the great state of South Carolina, and I frankly have never been through a six week time period where the weather has been more dreary, depressing and dangerous than what we have just recently experienced.

 

This past Tuesday afternoon, I walked out of my office at the Mike Kelly Law Group in the Congaree Vista and saw the most beautiful sunshine! It truly warmed my heart, brightened my spirit, and made me thankful for something that I have taken for granted for so long: THE SUN! Like in the beginning of this year, when I lost my wife, I have learned many lessons (even though I did not want to learn them in this way). I have learned that the simple things like a smile, a gentle touch, a kind word and even the sun coming up are so very important.
