be grateful for everything

 there's a great sheryl crow lyric

"It's not having what you want

It's wanting what you've got"

be grateful, even now I'm very grateful I'm here with my mom, to be here in this house my dad built, even after he's passed away, he's still providing for me. I'm grateful for that.

cherish every little thing you have and can do. in an instant I lost the ability to do a lot, like, I actually love washing dishes, I love that I had my own place and my own stuff and I had the ability to use that stuff, clean it and take care of it. so whatever menial task you have to do or may even complain about, be grateful, because none of it is menial, I continue to be grateful cuz I could have died, but i still have a shot to live the way I deserve and desire and once I'm no longer paralyzed I will be grateful still, to be able to do it all, to stand up from a chair properly, to washe dishes, to be able to hug with both arms and in the future I will continue to be grateful, for my ability, and my stuff, because it's all a privilege.
