			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently read an article on Making Music magazine. The article wrote about 3 musicians who refused to let illness and disability stnad in the way of their passions.</p>
<p>One of them suffered a sudden stroke even though she lived an active lifestyle. The stroke affected her motor skills on the right side of the body. She was devastated. You could imagine how disappointed it was not being able to play piano after you had been playing it for years. She said she would listen to cd and visualize the hands moved along with the music. Many months of treatments and therapy using a special device called the Bioness NESS H200 &#8211; she was able to play &#8220;Jesus Loves Me&#8221;.<br />It was a wonderful victory.</p>
<p>She said &#8220;When you&#8217;ve played the piano as long as I have, music is a huge part of your life. &#8220;</p>
<p>I am inspired and touched by the story. Very often, we forget to give thanks for what we have.</p>
