Gratitude List: 10 Physical Abilities
[For this list, I interpret physical ability to mean what I can do and express because I have a physical body.]
1. I can THINK and I can LEARN.
2. I have FIVE SENSES that all work: I can see, hear, touch, smell, and taste. Not only do the senses immeasurably enhance the quality of life, they are portals for learning and understanding.
3. I can COMMUNICATE: I can SPEAK, READ, and WRITE.
4. I can WALK and RUN. Both make my life better in very obvious and practical ways, but they also bring me joy. A walk or a run can really clear my head and often opens me up creatively, intellectually, and spiritually.
5. I can TEACH. In my life teaching has saved me over and over again.
6. I can DANCE--in my own way, of course. (A ballerina is the first thing I remember wanting to be someday when I grew up.)
7. I am an IDEALIST, an OPTIMIST, . . . or is it a ROMANTIC?!
8. I have a SENSE of ADVENTURE--or so I've been told on countless occasions. Maybe it is really a combination of restlessness, wanderlust, and curiosity.
9. ACCEPTING of CHANGE: Although it certainly can be stressful, change doesn't mess me up as much as it does many people. I have often found change to be rejuvenating, a chance to start over smarter.
10. CARTWHEELS--I don't ever remember not knowing how to do one: I just could.
