On a trip out here to califorina via united airlines to reunite with my family I witness a middle age lady with four kids travling with her. When observing this lady I notice something about her that really stood out, she had no FINGERS nor TOES. she had on a pair of sandals due to security you have to take off you tennis shoes, so she chose to wear sandals which was smart I should've did the same thing. Now getting to my point. I wore a short sleeve shirt on the airplane and while sitting there some 37k feet in air iI was so nervous and scared what ppl may say after seeing my white patches on my hands and arms and lets not forget about the stairs i got or thought iwas getting. But this lady put things in perspective for me. Having no FINGERS or TOES and still function in this society with a smile I know with me having vitiligo and other ppl can function and be successful. So ppl depressed about this thing think about you are alive and healthy and have all of your FINGERS and TOES.!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks Jimmy for the perspective. ;-)
I like this and just like everything in life its not so much the circumstances that we incur its our attitude & perspective about the circumstances that life deals us :-)
