I have always been astounded by the body's ability to heal. Common scrapes and cuts as a child turn into small scars as we age. Even after large surgical procedures, such as cardiac or pulmonary, humans recover successfully. Yes, it takes time, but we are functional again. Unlike lizards and snakes, humans cannot regenerate body parts. We may only regenerate cells that link to other cells. Muscle fibers, structural bone material and skin cells all fall into this category, though limbs, ears and other specialized body parts cannot be remade. After an injury it is important to recover in the right manner. This may include physical therapy and rest. Though we do not enjoy being injured, it is important to heal properly.

It's intriguing that when someone finds a new interest, we recognize that interest more and more each day. Like, when we learn a new word. We recognize this word in our everyday speak more and more. Or, when we are in the market for a new car. The cars we are interested in have always been in the parking lot, but they catch our eye now.
