Don't Epect Too Much

“Life is meant to be managed, not cured.”
Dr. Phil

I like that.  It doesn’t mean we have to fatalistically accept everything that comes our way, but it does mean we will be much more contented if we make the best of every adverse situation.  This morning on the news I saw a beautiful teen-age girl.  She had just been crowned the home-coming queen for her school, and was celebrating with her friends.  She was an accomplished artist - one of those girls that seemed to succeed at everything she did.  It was exciting to watch.  

Oh … I forgot to mention that the 17 year old has Cerebral Palsy, and has been in a wheel chair all her life.  Her paintings are created with a brush in her mouth, and everything she does takes all of her energies.  Her speech is slurred, but her smile is beautiful.
