This past weekend, we had 80 degree temperatures and yesterday, it was 42 degrees. This kind of cold doesn’t bode well with my delicate summer-lovin’ system. THIS is more what my system enjoys:

Or THIS:

The cold, dark early days of Fall and Winter send me running for the covers.

Yesterday, in particular, I was feeling a bit puny all day. (I’m still fighting something) So after work, I went straight home, put on my comfie, winter jammies and crawled into bed. I scrolled through my DVR to find something interesting to take my mind off my woozy tummy. By the end of the night, I had found a pattern in my television choices. . . Amazing and impressive miracles – KIDS.

Good Morning America featured Charice singing with David Foster playing piano. I’ve posted about this girl before here and here. If you haven’t listened to this child sing, you simply MUST. She IS UNBELIEVABLE! I took a picture of my TV. I’m a goofus like that.

Then there was Oprah and she was doing a show on Medical Mysteries with Dr. Oz. First, there was this 12 year old boy, Brendan. Bless his heart! He is 7′3” tall. . . at 12 years old! Can you imagine? After years of trying to figure out what was making him grow so fast, they finally nailed it down to a specific and unique chromosome issue that happened in utero. And with this information, they were able to help him STOP growing.

During the interview, he was just as gracious and adorable as any twelve year old boy, and surprisingly, even though kids that age can be a little cruel at times, he said that nobody makes fun of him. He said he has lots of friends. In fact, the only thing he complained about was finding clothes and shoes.

Well, Oprah being Oprah called on her friend, Shaquille O’Neal who is 7′1″ and knows all too well what it’s like being that tall. Shaq told Brendan that he now has a new best friend, that he is hooking him up with his personal tailor and is going to get him some new clothes. He’s bringing Brendan and his family to one of his basketball games and then they’ll hang out together that weekend. He said he’s going to share with him his secrets of being tall and signed off by saying “Be Tall. Be Beautiful.”

Next, she had a 26 year old young lady, Kristin, who is only 39″ tall. She has a disorder that affects only 100 people on the planet. She has something called Primordial Dwarfism, but it isn’t like your typical dwarf. She is perfectly proportionate; just super tiny. And she is absolutely adorable. I liked her! She said that she’s just like everybody else, just “Short in stature, and Tall in spirit”.

These young people were just amazing – their spirit touched my heart. It just got me to thinking about all that’s going on around us everyday, how people are behaving towards each other, all the judgement that people harbour in their souls for each other. Then you look at these walking and talking miracles. Who are WE to judge one another?

We ALL walk in different shoes.
