Reality check

[kristina]

Hi all. I was watching late night TV last night and a woman who was burned over 82% of her body at the WTC attacks was on. Let me tell you, all my grousing about my sports injuries and fat thighs went right out the window. THis gal is absolutely the most inspiring woman--she was talking about mourning the loss of her beauty, but moving on and being grateful to be alive. She has had this miraculous recovery...10% odds of surviving, she is back home now with her DH and baby boy. I don't think I will EVER complain about my genetics, my fat, or my looks ever again.It was on Oprah After the Show. What a story!

I know who you're talking about, Kristina. She is truly amazing and inspiring. She and her husband wrote a book called something like Love, Greg and Lauren. It's supposed to chronicle their life after the attacks and her struggles to survive and I think it has letters to her from him in it. I've seen her on Oprah and other shows and it really puts in perspective what matters.
