Yesterday I went through my daily routine, merely accepting what needed doing in a very matter-of-fact manner. I exercised, shaved, ate salad for lunch, did some cooking, resting and meditating. Today I did much the same but with a tremendous sense of gratitude. I could not stand and cook for years early in my recovery. Also for the first five years of my recover I could not exercise my muscles without spastic cramping. I began my exercise program with 0.3 miles on an exercise bike with no resistence. I just recently went through a decade of not having enough jaw coordination to eat things like salad. I find that I am very grateful for my current abilities.
