Since I introduced my website this week, I have received such wonderful words of support and encouragement by so many. I have also received some inspirational stories that I really feel I need to share. My friend Lauren sent me a link to her friend MATT LONG’s story. He was an Iron Man competitor and while riding his bike to work in Manhattan during the MTA strikes a few years ago, he was crushed by a bus and wrote a book about his journey to recovery. http://www.mattslongrun.com/index.html. For those of us, that have a hard time dragging ourselves to the pool or the gym or whatever we need to do to get ourselves moving, Matt’s story will help you appreciate the ease of doing all the small things we take for granted and think are soooo difficult at times. His story may make you complain less and do more. Sometimes we are so focused on following the path that is before us that when that path makes a sharp turn we can’t stop thinking about that straight path and the what ifs rather than thinking that maybe the new path will lead us to a new and more exciting journey. Matt proves even the bumpiest of paths can be traveled and conquered. Please read his story.
