I was exhausted and the wait at the rental car counter seemed endless. As I spoke to the gentleman next to me and complained about the wait, I glanced toward the rear of the line and saw a man with no arms and only a small deformed hand off his left shoulder. I watched as he took off his shoes and one of his socks and with his foot removed his wallet from the canvas satchel he had on a small cart that he pushed with his feet. With his right foot, he opened the wallet, removed various cards and then knelt on the ground to lift them to his deformed hand and dropped them in his left breast pocket. At that moment I realized how fortunate I am. I have arms and what took that man 5 minutes to do, I did in seconds. Your lecture sprang to my mind, that I could choose to be happy. I plan to keep a daily reminder of that man. Thank you. Without your lecture, I'm not sure that man's struggle would have had such a profound effect on my life.<br />Carrie LueckeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6169513616583531329.post-88562400326921831722012-09-15T15:52:04.726-07:002012-09-15T15:52:04.726-07:00I was at your talk in Vail yesterday, 9-14-12.

There are two reasons I've recognized for my tears. 1: I also had a mom I adored and took care of and loved with an outrageous love during her life and the last of her life. I related so deeply to all of your loving words. 2: I love everything our small, community healthcare system represents. We first and foremost take excellent, loving care of our patients. Listening to you was such a breath of fresh air. We are bombarded daily with regulations and demands and the occasional patient complaint. To hear you speak with such love and gratitude for what we do was overwhelming. Thank you for the gift you gave me as you spoke. May God continue to bless all of your days, and those of your family.
