We see extreme examples of individuals who overcome seemingly impossible challenges to achieve what some would take for granted (yesterday the story of the quadruple amputee who swam the English Channel), yet I feel each of us has areas where we must learn to live adaptively or sit down and give up.Marylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-47866906325311641732010-09-20T15:57:46.956-07:002010-09-20T15:57:46.956-07:00practicing yoga has helped this state of mind.

That unlikely ability seemed a blessing and an assurance that nothing vital had been left out, it was the function of creativity to make what there was work. You are welcome. One blog writer that I follow told of using a back scratcher to comb his hair when the moving cartons were mixed up. Picture us all with our back scratchers. xoxoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-41782184229474124902010-09-19T13:15:01.067-07:002010-09-19T13:15:01.067-07:00There is grace in adapting.
