Every so often those little moments of absolute clarity manifest themselves right in front of us; if we're fortunate we're astute enough to see them for what they are right then and there, and to gratefully, to appreciatively, and to wisely take their lessons to heart.  I was blessed with the opportunity to experience two such moments today in the span of only fifteen minutes. The first occurred while sitting in the prosthetics waiting room at the VA hospital today for H... Read More
