I was working as a swimming coach when I met Anita for the first time. Seeing I was swimming, Anita coming to me and asked me if I could help her to swim as her personal trainer was not available. I have been a swimming coach for a club and there was no reason to deny her request. In few minutes we became good friends and I was told she suffers from back problem. Her doctor advised her to swim as it might be helpful to her. I took it easy as I have been sailing in the same boat and swimming was a good option. With my experience, I appreciated the thought and recommended her to swim on daily basis. Without any hesitation she said, "I suffer from spinal arthritis(脊椎炎), a bigger problem than yours." As we discussed types of oral medications for back problem, she came closer to me and whispered, "I can make you feel better. My problem is more severe and requires a spinal injection on weekly basis rather than oral medication". Her acceptance to her reality gave me strength to bear my pain. I was glad we met. Undoubtedly, she made me feel better. Arthritis has made my life difficult, one problem leading to another. It has made me treasure the people in my life. The days are getting harder and Anita is an inspiration for me. Anita is working for an architectural firm, irrespective of all her medical problems. Meeting Anita helped me to understand that there are three angles to every problem - my angle, your angle and the right angle. Right angle is the reality that you do not want to accept. I accepted the right angle in my life that my problem is big but others might have a bigger problem. If they can live with courage and determination, why cannot I? We always focus on "my angle" and neglect the "right angle". Life is easier and better once we understand the "right angle". | ||||

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12 and 3) and have recently completed my college degree. The last 1 I had to take was Sociology and the last project of the term was called "Smile". The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and note down their 2 . Soon after we were 3 the project, my husband, youngest son and I went out to McDonald"s. We were standing in line, waiting to be 4 . When all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away. As I turned around, I smelled a 5 "dirty body" smell and there 6 me stood two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman close to me, he was " 7 " - his beautiful sky blue eyes were full of the light as he searched for 8 . He said "Good day" as he 9 the few coins he had been holding. The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, "Coffee is 10 , Miss," because that was what they could afford.

That was when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were 13 me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked for two more breakfast meals on a 14 tray. I then walked to the table that the men had chosen as a 15 spot, put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue eyed gentleman"s cold hand. He looked 16 at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you." I patted his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God is here working 17 me to give you hope." I returned to college with this story in hand. I 18 "my project" and later the instructor read it to the class. In this way I had 19 my classmates and the people around me. And I graduated with one of the most meaningful lessons in my life - 20 acceptance. | ||||
