Hello Metro family and friends! I hope your summer is going well. 

I am glad we are finally beginning to see the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. We have been dealing with COVID for the past year and a half and it has affected just about everyone either getting the virus, knowing someone who went through it, or losing a friend or family member because of it. BUT... things are starting to get back to a more normal times. I don't think I will ever take things for granted anymore, like hugging your loved ones, seeing family members in person, playing with the grandkids, or just being able to sit down and enjoy the company of good friends without fear that someone is in danger.

Several trips are in the works for Margaret and I with the travel restrictions being lifted. We will be driving out west to finally get to see Chris, Amanda, and the grandkids after 2 years. We also are planning some other adventures over the summer and into the fall that we are looking forward to. Also, it will be great to get back to Vegas with my brothers again.

I was able to compete in the 37th Annual Gull Lake Invitational golf event held this past May. It was a great time getting some sun, exercise, and seeing friends who I haven't seen in a couple years, as last year the event was cancelled.

I would like to offer congratulations to my Goddaughter Megan, who graduated from Michigan State with honors in May, and also to my nephew Sam who graduated from Hereford High School. I wish you both all the best in your future endeavors. 

Finally, as a subscriber, be sure to keep an eye out for email updates over the next couple months about some Brad Savage & The Cockroaches news, our NFL Pigskin Pickem Game, a porch party, and other Metro events. If you are reading this and are not a subscriber, or if you know someone who might enjoy what we do here at the McCarty Metro, or sign them up to receive updates as a free subscriber.

My final thought I'm leaving you is a story about someone very special to me (spoiler alert... it's you). Enjoy!

Think what a remarkable, unduplicatable, and miraculous thing it is to be you! Of all the people who have come and gone on the earth, since the beginning of time, not ONE of them is like YOU!

No one who has ever lived or is to come has had your combination of abilities, talents, appearance, friends, acquaintances, burdens, sorrows and opportunities.

No one’s hair grows exactly the way yours does. No one’s finger prints are like yours. No one has the same combination of secret inside jokes and family expressions that you know.

The few people who laugh at all the same things you do, don’t sneeze the way you do. No one prays about exactly the same concerns as you do. No one is loved by the same combination of people that love you – NO ONE!

No one before, no one to come. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE!

Enjoy that uniqueness. You do not have to pretend in order to seem more like someone else. You weren’t meant to be like someone else. You do not have to lie to conceal the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else.

You were meant to be different. Nowhere ever in all of history will the same things be going on in anyone’s mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now.

If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap in history, something missing from the plan for humankind.

Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift given only to you. Enjoy it and share it!

No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can speak your words. No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort with your kind of comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person.

No one can be cheerful and lighthearted and joyous in your way. No one can smile your smile. No one else can bring the whole unique impact of you to another human being.

Share your uniqueness. Let it be free to flow out among your family and friends and people you meet in the rush and clutter of living wherever you are. That gift of yourself was given you to enjoy and share. Give yourself away!

See it! Receive it! Let it tickle you! Let it inform you and nudge you and inspire you! 

YOU ARE UNIQUE!

Here's to the remarkable, unduplicatable, and miraculous YOU...
