At Least You've Got Your Health
Lizzy has never been missing at the Gym since she was ten years old. She has always had the dream of being a professional athletic gymnast. She did realized her dreams and by the time she was 25,she has won a lot of medals,trophies and she was really popular in her country as one of the most successful athletic gymnast that ever existed. She still wishes to go to go for more competitions and do what she knows best
Gym was her life. She couldn't wish for anything better.
All her dreams came crashing down on the night of that terrible accident that took both her legs. Now she lays confined to her bed in the hospital. She cried everyday for weeks after her legs were amputated.
What's a gymnast without her legs?
After accepting her fate that she can never be the person she used to be or the person she wishes to be. She decided to move on from the past
Her friend Martha visited her one day at the hospital and throughout the conversation, Martha subtly complained of how things hasn't been going the way she wanted and how much she struggled to make it in her modelling career. Lizzy was quiet the whole time because she knew her friend will always say her mind no matter what, but then after listening she said just a few words
"At least you've got your health"
Those words struck Martha and she reflected on how Lizzy although being successful at the start couldn't do the thing she wanted now. These thoughts helped Martha to become grateful for the things she had at present. With good health,she will be able to fulfill all her dreams even though it may come later.
