Down, but not out!

Thanks to historian, Michael Beschloss for this photo of Lou Gehrig after being knocked out by inside fastball that struck him over right eye--exhibition game June 1934: pic.twitter.com/2v5b0Jk7AM.

 

Of course, Gehrig got up and continued his amazing career until he was knocked out by the onset of what became known as Lou Gehrig's disease--ALS. 

 

Life is like this photo in many ways. 

 

Knocked down. 

 

Knocked out. 

 

Set back.

 

How one responds to the painful, tough times determines a great deal about the quality and fabric of a life.
