A man once told me that everything in life is rhythmic; the steps of your feet, the words from your mouth, the beat of your heart. And no matter how hard you might try to deny it, even things like your daily routine - taking the kids to school, writing a report, mailing a letter - are all done with some sort of rhythm. I know for sure that in my life, the rhythm is constantly changing. I'm always learning, always moving in one way or another; even when I'm sitting still.
This man's name is Dean Gagnon. If you saw him on the street, you may not give him a second look. He's your regular everyday Joe, earning a living as a Special Needs worker, and drumming in his spare time. But it's what he decided to do with his gifts - with the rhythm of his life - that made him extraordinary.
Please take the next two and a half minutes to watch his story that aired on Always Good News.
