Welcome to the month of October!
There was an article in the weekend paper by journalist Barbara Turnbull, reflecting on her 30 years as a quadriplegic. She was working in a convenience store in 1983 and was shot in the neck by a robber, resulting in her becoming paralyzed. A planned trip to New York City coincided with the 911 tragedy. They arrived there shortly after the disaster. Witnessing the immediate aftermath, she has this to say: "I went to New York to escape, but instead I found perspective." There are a lot of people worse off, and she thinks of this whenever she is down. I thought this was really inspiring.

It always amazes me to hear about the courage, determination and peace people are able to somehow find no matter what adversity is thrown at them.
