Inspiring Words

Happy Pi Day to all the mathematicians as I understand it is today, at 9:26:53, we celebrate the first 10 digits of Pi – March 14, 2015, 9:26:53 = 3.141592653

I saw this pretty floral arrangement in the store recently, I was tempted to buy it.  I'm sure even the birds wouldn't know the flowers were artificial.



This is an inspiring story I read in the paper about a quadriplegic mom raising 3 year old twin girls.

Quoting the most inspiring words I found from the article:

Burton overcame her anxieties by drawing on the same strength she used while learning to live with a devastating spinal cord injury.

“I learned how to adapt,” she says. “I also learned I had to accept that there were certain things I couldn’t ever do.

“I’m paralyzed. I can’t change that. But I can change my attitude about how I feel about my paralysis.”

I can't think of anything more devastating than being paralyzed. Fortunately, she has children so that is a plus in her favor.

I think I'm the only one who doesn't care much about Pi day. I hated math in school
