I was invited to attend a presentation at the Kentucky School. That evening I found gratitude had amazing    41     to change our attitude and our life.

The young musician Mr. Patrick was     42     onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he     43      beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was wonderful. But what shocked me most was his     44     smile.

Mr. Patrick was born with no eyes and an illness in the legs, which     45     him lame for life. However, as a child, he was     46     with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first     47     , he discovered the piano. When his mom hit any note on the piano, and within one or two     48     , he’d get it. By his second birthday, he was playing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”. His father was     49     .“We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”

When Patrick was at the University of Louisville, his father     50     classes with him. He was also a part of the 214-member marching band! He was a blind, wheelchair-bound trumpet player; and he and his father did it together. His father      51      the night shift(夜班) in order to accompany his daytime band practice. Patrick says, “My dad’s my     52     .”

But even more than his     53     musical talent, it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that     54     my soul. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how     55     he was with a great father. When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together. The crowd rose to their feet and     56     for over five minutes.

We all face misfortune in our lives.     57      , it’s not the hardship but how we     58     to it that will determine the joy and happiness in our lives. During     59      times, do we spend too much time feeling     60     for ourselves, or can we, with gratitude, learn how to dance in the rain?
