How to make a gratitude list: If you can read this, be thankful. My mom can not. (shes going blind) If you can remember what you ate for lunch, be thankful. Mom cant. If you know how much money you have (even if its not a lot) be thankful. Mom doesnt and is always worried how shes paying for things. If you are disabled and know your caregiver, be thankful. My mom doesnt. If you got to go to church today, be thankful. Mom cant go anymore. If you enjoyed the afternoon sun by taking a long walk, be thankful. Mom can only walk about half a block on a good day, and for that SHE is thankful. If you can enjoy a good tasty meal, be thankful. Alzheimers takes away the ability to taste foods. Mom can only really appreciate sweet and salty things. If you talked to your best friend on the phone today, be thankful. Mom cant hear her best friend (her college roommate who still calls) on the phone anymore, so I translate. And lastly... if you still have your mom, be thankful; for some day you will not.
