\t\t\t\tKatie Terry is a Utah County woman<\/a> who exemplifies gratitude. She already had two special-needs kids when she was paralyzed from the waist down in an auto accident. Yet in an effort to live the best life she can, she\u2019s been running races with a hand-cycle. In fact, she took part in the Boston Marathon.<\/p>\n

She is, literally, inspiration on wheels.<\/p>\n

Think about it.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the most inspiring thing YOU\u2019ve ever done on wheels?<\/p>\n

For me, it\u2019s probably not falling down.<\/p>\n

Katie didn\u2019t waste one second feeling sorry for herself. Strength like hers is the kind that\u2019ll snap us out of self-pity when we\u2019re having a toast-fell-butter-side-down kind of day. Such fortitude elevates our understanding of gratitude. It\u2019s not about being thankful for the bonus things, the extras you have on top of everything else. It\u2019s about thankfulness for what feels like less, or not enough. You don\u2019t get blessed. You decide that you ARE blessed. And then … you are.<\/p>\n

Thank YOU, Katie Terry!<\/p>\n

Thanks for showing me there\u2019s more to life than not falling down.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s about getting back up.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
