My grandfather died when I was about 12. Some of the memories faded,some of what he said has faded from my memory...but one thing just kind of came back to me that I can truely appreciate.
He always told me to be thankful for everything,I think sometimes when I'm depressed,I lose sight of what I'm able to do as opposed to what I'm not.
He told me,"Be thankful that you can wake up in the morning,because others won't."
"Be thankful that you can see,because others can't."
"Be thankful that you can walk and talk,because some people are in wheelchairs and cannot speak."
It doesn't mean that the emotional storm in my head is any less prevalent,but sometimes I take that advice my grandfather gave me,and for the simple things I can do,I'm thankful for because I can be alive one day and gone the next.
