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. However, as a child, he was with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first , he discovered the piano. When his mom hit any note on the piano, and within one or two , he’d get it. By his second birthday, he was playing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”. His father was . “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”
When Patrick was at the University of Louisville, his father classes with him. He was also a part of the 214-member marching band! He was a blind, wheelchair-bound trumpet player; and he and his father did it together. His father the night shift(夜班)in order to accompany his daytime band practice. Patrick says, “My dad’s my .”
But even more than his musical talent, it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that _ my soul. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how _ he was with a great father. When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together. The crowd rose to their feet and for over five minutes.
We all face misfortune in our lives. ,it’s not the hardship but how we to it that will determine the joy and happiness in our lives. During times, do we spend too much time feeling for ourselves, or can we, with gratitude, learn how to dance in the rain?
