Inspired

Today I went to visit a friend who I haven't seen in several years. We grew up dancing together and I found out the other day she got hit by a car. They had to amputate her foot and knowing this, I was very worried about visiting her to find out she was going to be in rough shape. I was so worried that she wasn't ok. I can't even begin to imagine getting hit by a car. When we walked into her room - we found her a bit tired but in great shape. It was amazing that all she lost was her foot. Her right leg is in pretty rough shape, but with surgery, will be ok. But that was it! No other injuries. On top of that, she was in good spirits about it. Saying how lucky she was that was all that happened. I couldn't be more inspired by her good spirits about the whole thing. I think about how lucky she was - how much worse it could have ended up and how lucky she is that she is ok. It is a healthy reminder to all of us that complain about our day to day BS that things really aren't that bad. Here she is, hit by a car and now without a foot and totally optimistic about it - and she really should be. She survived!
