An Interesting Weekend
I'm home from a long weekend in Salt Lake City. I spent several nights at a friend's house with my roommate and his fiance. It really seemed to be what I needed this weekend--a nice distraction where I could meet new and interesting people. I also had the opportunity to spend time with a young man stricken with cerebral palsy. I really had the opportunity this week to get to know him and to understand how alive and vibrant his mind is. As I had the opportunity to help him in a variety of ways, I came to know him as a person. By the end of this weekend, I now consider him to be a very dear friend. I also learned that life is what you make of it. He is one of the happiest, most friendly, loving people that I know and he faces more difficult trials than most of us can even imagine. It is amazing how much my perspective on life has changed this weekend--I found my self more humble and teachable because of my interactions with my new friend.
