In November I posted things I was grateful for. I think I'd like to change things up a bit. I had a thought this morning that is a struggle to accept
but needs to be accepted never the less and that is: I need to stop looking back at what I was before WNV and all of the things I "can't" do
anymore at this time and focus on today and the future and what I "can" do. I've spent the last several weeks looking at cooking blogs,
magazines, etc. looking at all of this stuff I want to do "when I get better". Frankly, it is depressing. I need to be looking at stuff I
"can" do right now and put all of that stuff away. If ever I am able to get back to it great! If not......there are other things to focus on.
So, what "can" we do (which are things we are grateful for) so it is kind of continuing the "I'm grateful for......." topic.
December 3rd: I can fix myself breakfast. My huge accomplishment for today! 
I "CAN"

I can braid my hair everyday so I do not look like a madwoman roaming the house (like I used too when I was really sick every day).

I know it's hard to find anything good out of what happened to us, when asked how I feel or how I'm doing I say any day I'm vertical is a good day

I like that Jack. That is a good one. Does semi vertical count?

Have you ever read the warning sign on the top step of a ladder? It says this is not a step!!!!!!!!! Well with recovery sometimes you have to use the top
step as a learning tool, if you don't fall you'll never know what you did was wrong. If I didn't push myself like I do then how would I know what
to work on? How woud I ever know if I've gotten any better?
