Holistic Healing and Gratitude

Maintaining an attitude of gratitude is very important for me to continue to be functional and, so far, within this physically difficult life, I have always been able to find things to be grateful for, Yesterday I was looking over some of my writings about learning to relax my jaw a bit over a decade ago.  I had forgotten how difficult that process was and I had two doctors to tell me that it was not possible.  As it was, it took me deep focus, meditation, six months of using Botox and several months to accomplish.  During that process I was grateful I could do it at all and I am still not sure where the ability came from.  Yesterday, when I read that, I felt grateful that my jaw was relaxed most of the time now and that I had learned to coordinate my jaw activities, though I am not done with that part yet since eating and speaking are still a challenge.
