focus on the can do, not the can not

following up from this post

i can make a delicious kale and bacon quiche

i can stay connected with my dear daughter every day

i can water the plants in the window sill and change the flowers in the vases

i can smile at strangers

i can notice the beauty around me anywhere i might be

i can send mail

i can create herbal teas and bath salts

i can collect eggs from the chickens every morning

i can take photographs

i can be a listening ear

i can read and hear my story woven into theirs

i can create a beautiful garden basket

i can deliver flowers to what used to be strangers and are now friends

i can exchange love conversations with babies

i can welcome whoever ends up sleeping on my couch when i come downstairs in the morning

i can continue to be hopeful

i can continue to be vulnerable and truthful about my story
