Day 4 of Having a Broken Ankle: First Day Back on Campus

For today, I will optimistically ignore the challenges and list blessings instead:

• Elevators.
  
• Lunch with Barbs. I will stay in touch with this girl forever. I love her so much.
• NPR in the morning. Always a good thing.
  
• People holding the door open for me. They probably have no idea how much that simple act means!
• Kimberly. She gave me a ride to campus and has the most positive attitude.
  
• My hometeacher. Spencer picked me up from my last class today. Thank goodness because I don't think I had enough strength left in me to hobble home.
  
• Sympathy. Well, this is good and bad. I actually hate getting so much attention because I don't know how to react, but I get sad when people ignore me.
• My philosophy class was canceled which gave me extra time.
• I'm learning how to be more efficient.
• I'm learning more empathy. I saw a boy in a wheelchair today and I really felt for him. I will never see handicapped people the same way.
  
• I'm learning patience and humility (although I don't remember ever praying for those...?)
  
• Lynne called me just to see how I was doing.
