Celebrate What You Have.
Yesterday, I took my soon to a church function that, frankly, neither of us was too thrilled about attending. But lessons are learned in the most unexpected places. We were in a group of about 50, and were treated to a performance by Tony Melendez. Tony is a thalidomide baby--he was born without arms. Even without arms, he is an accomplished guitarist and singer. One of he kids asked Tony whether he ever feel sorry for himself. His answer? "Why would I?" "Uhh, Tony, you have no arms." His wisdom: "It's better to celebrate what you have than spend time worrying about what you don't." Message heard.

Thank you so much for sharing this - this was one of the first things I read at my PC this morning and it provided a very welcome reminder of what counts.
