At the moment I don’t feel too inspired…but maybe this will help me get out of my funk.

My office is in a major medical center. Everyday I see people with missing limbs or going through chemo or in wheelchairs or any number of major medical issues. They seem to be pushing themselves and doing what they need to do to take care of themselves. Having them smile at me and say hello inspires me to take full advantage of all the gifts I have…for the most part, I have been blessed with good health and I often need to remind myself not to take it for granted—it could disappear in a flash. If that happened I wonder if I would be strong enough to smile and say hello to a stranger.
