Gosh Josh, I thought I have a pretty positive attitude but you’ve got it nailed!! My partner was born with CP & I acquired MS in ’93. We each are amazed by the other…which is harder- to not have known what so-called “whole or normal…or to have known & had it taken away! Thanks for reminding me that “We are exactly as we were supposed to be!

I really enjoy Erik Weihenmayer’s blog. He was the first and only blind climber to summit Everest. In his book, The Adversity Advantage, (which is really an empowering read) Eric talks about losing his sight at 15 and the inspiration he gained in the process of going blind from watching Terry Fox run the Marathon of Hope. Eric’s blog is here:http://www.touchthetop.com/blog/

Hey! I met Benoit Huot! He was in my flight of Paralympic torchbearers. We were up in the wee hours of the night to carry the torch in the 24 hour relay. He’d just flown in from Montreal and came straight from the airport to join us. He looked exhasuted, but he had his turn and then went to his hotel to crash for a couple hours before an early morning guest appearance. Super nice guy. He signed my torch box for me before we got off the relay shuttle.
