This man is so cheery and
charming yet the poor guy
has no legs.He is a double
amputee and here I was
feeling sorry for me as I
need new glasses, new
shoes, and need to have
myhearing checked.'
Now Im grateful for what
I do have, two good
legs to carry me around
, a clear mind, a great
son, and wonderful best
friend. I'm in a place
where I'm safe and I have
a nice room and three
meals a day.I'm in a free
country and I'm alive.
too I have AC if it gets
too hot here in our room
So how about the rest
of you, bet you have more
to be grateful for than you
realize.

I always keep in mind there are people who have been less lucky than me, so I never feel envious or frustrated about life, I just push to do my best and achieve my goals. 
I don't just sit and be grateful, I want to pay back the gifts the nature gave me.

while I was younger and
had no problems in
moving I tried always
to pay back the gifts
that nature gave to me,
but now I'm partly
handicapped I can
only do what
I can, my best and
if my best is not
enough o some people,
well tough nugies lol

@Hatley You did what you could in the "early days", and now you do what you can.
That's how it works, I guess.

I have lived with a bathroom that only had working toilet (and that only worked when it wasnt below freezing) we had to walk a ways to use a park bathroom to shower, having a shower in my own home is something I use to remind myself that it could always be worse

Absolutely Patsie I am always grateful for what I have got. I am not very materialistic but I see such horror stories day in and day out from my work. It makes you realise there are so many people in this world who are not quite so fortunate as ourselves.
