Learning to Come to Grips with my Terminal Illness

Posted by Dan Clouser | Apr 12, 2021 | Many Little People, The Journey |

It’s only human for us to take those things and people that we hold near and dear to us for granted. Would we approach our moments with those that we love differently if we really considered that the moment that we have with them, right here, right now, is the only moment that we are guaranteed with them? Would we choose our words more wisely? Would we hug them a little tighter, a little longer when we say, “So long,” “See you down the road,” or “Good-Bye?”

Debi Wade-Scavone – Remember our Roots

Posted by Dan Clouser | Apr 9, 2021 | Many Little People, Podcasts, The Journey |

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, I sit down with my cousin, Debi Wade-Scavone.

We talk about our parents and the importance of remembering our roots.

When my Mom was traveling around the country, one of the things that was so important to her was being able to connect with her family and friends. This is one of the things that Sandy and I have been very fortunate to do so far on our travels.

Grateful

Posted by Dan Clouser | Apr 6, 2021 | The Journey |

Today I am grateful for our family, beautiful weather, long walks, youth sports, and His salvation.

I have discovered over the past few years that having an attitude of gratitude is a really good approach to living a healthy life. There are already so many things in this world that can get us down, so we really need to make an effort to be grateful and positive. A positive mindset and the positive energy that is a product of that mindset will lead to a healthier mind, body, and soul. All three are interconnected, but it first starts with our mind and mental health. We can’t always control what happens to us, but we can always control how we react to it. Therefore, even on our worst days, we must truly make an effort to find the positive in every situation, I assure you that it is there if we look for it.
