I’m quoting my mom’s recent post on my dad’s blog:

A few months ago, Rick came across a book titled “Ask and It is Given” about manifesting one’s desires by focusing positive energy toward goals. It changed his attitude about his disease and life in general. He, as best he can - even now when in pain - focuses his attention on positive goals and envisions achievement of them. (There’s obviously a lot more to it than that but I’m not trying to reprise the book here.) One focus was on a series of adventures written about in Men’s Journal. He cut out those he was planning in the future and posted them, by year he planned them, on a poster. He also wrote a letter to the magazine letting them know they had inspired him in his quest to look forward. Yesterday the June issue of the magazine was published - including Rick’s letter! Not only did they publish his letter, they are sending him a new Trek Fuel EX7 mountain bike for his contribution (one of the adventures was a bike tour through Provence).

I was so happy to read that… it’s like Men’s Health is right there behind my dad sayin, “Keep it up.” That’s so cool.
