Overcoming Adversity

Uh..wow. That is a challenge. When I start feeling sorry for myself with my health problems, I do try to tell myself that there are LOTS LOTS worse things out there...... bless his heart.

Nice capture! He looks like he gets around without much trouble :D

Fab capture... perfect in b&w! And can you say Penny Humphrey Perkins!?

And probably not doing a lot of complaining either

Overcoming indeed, I sometimes hear people complaining about the most trivial things and then I wonder how people with real problems get through! Great shot, great reminder!

@deburahiru thanks, Deb. He had a cane that he used too and moved a bit slowly but I admire his determination.

@marilyn Thanks. I appreciate it. It makes us humble doesn't it?

People like this man are a real example of tenacity to overcome a real problem. Last night they were interviewing one of the victims of the Boston bomb, a nice young gal who is a dance instructor, and lost her foot. It was so inspiring to hear her positive analysis of her future... in the middle of her tragedy. We should be thankful for our daily blessings.

@anazad511 They sure are. Their circumstances help put our lives into a better perspective.

What a wonderful capture. I love his get up and go, and that white sock is very touching for some reason.
