Totally agree with you. Just saw this young man on the television last week, I just can't remember if it was on the news or a feature on 20/20. I for one am thankful for my family, health, etc. Certainly not worth getting upset about intermittent power outages,golf cart parking spaces or dog poop! Thanks for sharing.

Such power in those words and attitudes.

A great inspiration to the millions who "think" they are handicapped.

It is all about attitude and can do.

All of a sudden my sore knee doesn't hurt as much as I thought it did.....attitude
