Six

Today is my six-year anniversary of my car accident and spinal cord injury. I don't know... Perhaps I feel it even more this year because my college friend Russ is in town visiting. We sat in the kitchen last night talking about college and people and everything in between. These six years have flown by. When I was younger, I never pictured that I'd be living the lifesyle I am now. Well. We humans have an uncanny ability to adjust to the circumstances we are placed in.

Today, my friend Mike sent me an E-greeting card with a picture of a butterfly flying through the rain until the sun came out and all the tulips bloomed. It's a really cheesy card. But underneath the picture he wrote "I don't know what in the hell this card means, I just thought you might like the silly butterfly flying in the rain as much as I did. Maybe there's meaning in the silly butterfly. Just keep staring at the silly butterfly until you come up with something. Maybe that butterfly is you." Every once in awhile, Mike comes up with something inspirational.
