Starting a thankful blog...


In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy.

Things I'm grateful for...that I took for granted before my injury/surgery...

  • Kneeling to pray
  • Standing to shower
  • Walking up and down stairs
  • Walking. Period.
  • Going to the bathroom by myself
  • Getting my own glass of water
  • Getting dressed
  • Wearing jeans
  • Peddling a bike
  • Sleeping on my side
  • etc.
Remember that little things are what make big differences! Always remember to be grateful for what you DO have and CAN do, no matter how small it may seem at the time.

Mis Padres

I'm thankful for my Parents!! What amazing people full of love, kindness, compassion, creativity, and goof! I love them because they take the best interest in my life. They want to be there for me, protect me, teach me, help me, and take care of me. And they do. They are very thoughtful and surprise me with things that make me happy. Gracias!! XOX
