Adapt-able

Sorry it's been awhile - my cat had an operation to remove his eye, so I've been preoccupied. He's fine - thanks for asking - but it made me think about how we can adapt.
I used to see a guy in my neighbourhood riding a bike with one leg. I think that's cool. And then you have quadriplegic artists who paint by mouth and myriad other examples of people who have adapted to pretty serious 'disabilities'. 
The difference is mental. Cats don't care if they look different - all they care about is can they still do what they want and if not, how can they find a new way? People need to think this way as well. If we focus on what we ARE able to do, we'll accomplish much more than worrying about what we can't do.
