opening up possibilities

A number of months ago, a friend of mine got into a bad car accident. No one really knows if the car flipped or rolled or both, but either way, her back seized up and she's been in a lot of pain since then. Physical therapy has been helping, but recently has been helping less, so I offered her a lesson. She took me up on it last week. Today we got to talk and she told me that her experience after that lesson was, for the first time in months, she could easily breathe deeply and felt like an actual recovery was possible. The smile on her face as she said that was priceless, full of relief and excitement. Plans are in the works for another lesson tomorrow.

The knowledge that I can help someone get a part of her life back that's been missing is hugely gratifying.
