Thank you Karen_kay. Racer and shar are two tough gals with big hearts and amazing resilience.
If I have any philosophy that keeps me going, I'm not sure what it is but I will tell what I think it is in this little story.
When I went to my doctors office Friday for more labs, some 'jerk' in a big truck was kind of an aggressive driver in the parking lot. I got out of my truck and kind of waited for him to get out of his several spaces down. I figured I'd give him a look of disapproval then that would be it.
He got out of his truck, oblivious to me and walked in to the business a few doors down. It was a prosthetics business and I noticed he was wearing a prosthetic device where his right leg used to be.
I guess down deep, I figure I was put on this earth to learn a few things. How to be thankful regardless of my circumstances, how to forgive, how to be a kind person, and how to laugh despite missing the mark time after time.Thank you for thinking about me.
