Description
UF3... with sig in PSP7...
Someone sent this to me over email and I found it to be very sobering and inspiring...
"At the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish to run the race to the finish and win. All, that is, except one little boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times, and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy cry. They slowed down and looked back. Then they all turned around and went back... every one of them. One girl with Down's Syndrome bent over and kissed him and said, "This will make it better." Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line. Everyone in the stadium stood, the cheering went on for several minutes. People who were there are still telling the story... Why? Because deep down we know this one thing: What matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What matters in this life is helping others win, even if it means slowing down and changing our course."
After having read that, I can't help but reflect upon all the goodwill, help and encouragement I've received here... from all of you. Thanks, you guys... for everything! Hugs! Helen :)

Amazing spiral .. :) Great coloring including frame and all :) Very fantastic true story ! .. Pretty sure it would never have happened at the "normal" olympics. But right along the line with .. if one loose .. we all loose ! Something we often have to remind ourselves even in the smallest things in life. Thank You for reminding me :) .. Love the background for this one :) .. Excellent Job :):)

Ummm... seems I never did add the sig in PSP... got ahead of myself on this one. Actually... I would rename this to "For The Nine"... for those who ran the race... arm in arm... all of them winners... all of them perfect human beings... :)
