I was invited to attend a presentation at the Kentucky School. That evening I found gratitude had amazing to change our attitude…and our life. The young musician Mr. Patrick was onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was wonderful. But what shocked me most was his smile. Patrick was born with no eyes and an illness in the legs, which him lame for life.
