I Can Do Anything
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsYesterday I had a conversation with a friend of mine. She is such a good person. She cares about everyone and it shows. She was distraught as I was talking to her. She felt like she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. She has so much responsibility in her job and…

Change
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsFall officially began yesterday. It’s my favorite time of the year. Temperatures start to cool, but not so severely that you can’t enjoy the outdoors.

When did blessings become inconveniences? I…

Family and Friends
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsFamily and friends play a huge role in our fight against Myasthenia Gravis. Sometimes we need their physical assistance, but all of the time we need their love and understanding. The best way to do that is in person. I realize that’s not always practical for some. Careers have pulled our family to different regions…
