Everyone seems to be in a much more thankful mood these days, especially after what we have globally experienced during 2020.  John Hughes Golf is no exception.  I’d like to take just a few moments of your time to tell you what I’m thankful for today, and why. I’m: Thankful for COVID Yes, you read this correctly.  I’m thankful that we have all had to put our collective hats on the past 8+ months and solve a problem that affects us all, not just individually.  I’m always looking at the glass being half-full, and if you’re doing better than surviving during this extraordinary time in our history, your glass is half-full, whether you realize it or not.  None of us are thankful it happened, and it is taking many lives along the way.  But sometimes if takes more than the individual strengths of one person to combat a negative force.  And when that happens, we’re all in a better place. I’m also thankful for COVID because I lived through it in September.  For 11-days, I suffered through fevers that brought on migraine headaches and sometimes severe vertigo.  The intestinal discomfort was not pleasant.  Nor was the the 20+ day lingering staph infection on my back after testing negative and being cleared.  But what I am thankful for is the 20+ pounds I lost along the way.  I’m making a concerted effort to keep them off along with some other pounds being shed going forward.  I’m also thankful of the time…
