Today I'm thankful for great books. If you love reading, I have two recommendations. Both are about overcoming obstacles and living an inspired and inspiring life. One is about one of the top brain surgeons in the country who is now at Mayo Jacksonville. I had the honor of hearing him speak when @colleenyoung invited me to the Social Media Conference in Jacksonville recently. I just finished his book - Becoming Dr. Q: My Journey from Migrant Farm Worker to Brain Surgeon. I loved this book! The second is The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell. This one is fiction, but still a great story of a boy who is born with ocular albinism and struggles with being different as he grows up. I ended both books feeling good and recognizing that we can be grateful for both our opportunities and our challenges. Have a great day!
