Adversity

I just read in our local paper that a friend of ours daughter passed away, she was 21.  She had been diagnosed very young with a disease that could not be cured, and they certainly did not give her as long to live as she did.  She was in a wheelchair almost half of her young life.  It reminds me how we all take things for granted, even our health.  It reminds me how we all have so many opportunities to do things in life, even if it is just running in a field, or taking a quiet walk in the woods.  It reminds me that when I get discouraged..........................at least I still have the chance to try.
