I'm Thankful for the Things I Can Do

I can't wiggle my toes.
I can't walk in my Earth shoe sandals because my toes can't grip them and hang on.
I can't roll my right foot from heel to toe when I walk.
I can't drive.

I can type. I can think. I can talk. I can sing. I can cook. I can teach. I can understand jokes. I can watch movies. I can read. I can go to church. I can talk on the phone. I can go grocery shopping (if someone else drives). I can follow directions. I can taste food. I can hear. I can take a shower. I can dress myself. I can make a pot of tea. I can draw. I can cut with scissors. I can walk, slowly. I can pray. I can write. I can remember. I can sleep. I can play games. I can see....

I am much more thankful for all the things I can do than I am bothered by the things I can't.
