We are always measuring what more we need, what we may lack, what we wish we had rather than seeing what it is we do. <br /><br />The fact of the matter is, if you have a body that works, you have blessings beyond the telling of it. I got lucky when I was 27 and had a car accident that landed me in a wheelchair for close to five months (just waiting for bones to heal, I'm fine)...and since then, I've never really taken a step that didn't hurt just a little bit. Just a little bit, something that is something I am so used to, I don't even given it any thought. It's just a tiny bit of pain where something effortless used to be. <br /><br />And I'm so grateful that happened to me because ever since I have been mindful : whatever it is you are taking for granted right now could be gone in a moment. I never was grateful for walking without an sense of it being a bit of a struggle, until it was gone. I walk just fine, don't mistake me, but I'll never take it for granted again. <br /><br />There's a lot of value in being content, isn't there? Smart is great, witty is nice to be around, but kindness has value without measure.Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-79796724849836257682010-05-19T07:24:13.385-07:002010-05-19T07:24:13.385-07:00A wonderful post. Congratulations on the potw.
I...A wonderful post. Congratulations on the potw.<br /><br />It's funny. I'm not particularly outgoing. Neither am I all that friendly-looking. I think it's from years of bad teeth. I never used to smile much because of that. They were a bit embarrassing, and often hurt. They're mostly fixed now, but habits die hard. Even my wife of 11 years still asks me what's wrong when I'm just sitting there. Nothing, dear... just my face.<br /><br />Anyway, despite all that, I'm a "crazy-magnet." Random folk seem to gravitate to me, looking for conversation. They seem to sense that I will hang out with them for a while. They're right. "Normal" people can be annoying, but these folk invariably add interest to my day.<br /><br />So I read somewhere that American Indians, or at least some tribes, looked at the "handicapped" as special gifts from God: sent to teach valuable lessons. They were accorded a special, honored place in society. They were marked by their difference not as less, but more, or at least, they were considered important.<br /><br />I think they were right.<br /><br />Thanks for a thought provoking post.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584174478393760131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-58336842702357224762010-05-19T03:05:29.013-07:002010-05-19T03:05:29.013-07:00So true!
