my kids wake up and kiss me with their pukey morning breath
when i am able to fix mickey mouse pancakes
when i am not consumed with pain - or able to somehow ignore it
it's a good day when i can canoe on the lake
it's a good day when i can walk up 13 steps without stopping for a rest
it's a good day when i eat nutty bars for breakfast
...no, it's a GREAT day when i eat nutty bars for breakfast
it's a good day when i can vacuum with my bad arm
it's a good day when i can throw bean bags with my bad arm
it's a good day when i can spank if i need to with my bad arm ;-)
it's a good day when i can wake up and praise God for feeling pain because my son can't always feel pain
it's a GREAT day when my baby walks in and says "i love you and you're beautiful"
when the vibrating of my toothbrush doesn't send me over the edge
when i can run and play and ride my bike and swim
it's a great day when i can fold laundry
and
it's a great day when i can get over myself and help someone else in need - even if it hurts
