per·spec·tive: pərˈspektiv/ (noun) - a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view. 
When I look at my reflection, I won't lie; I do see a girl who used to be a dance teacher but is now wheelchair bound. I do see someone who was once invincible but now relies on help from others. HOWEVER, I also see a girl who beat the odds, one who kicks butt what she does, and a fighter with the best outlook on life. 
How others see you is not important. How you see yourself means everything. 
I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing & see something totally different. Sometimes a change in perspective is all it takes to see the light: we can complain because rose bushes have thorns or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses. Are you the grandma in the wheelchair or the dancing ballerina? The choice is yours. 
So, what's it gonna be?
I may not be able to do the things you do, but I can discover the silver lining to every cloud. 🌤
