For years now, I have used Thursdays as my thanks-giving day. That is, I set aside time to say thanks in prayer each Thursday rather than ask for things or wait for the annual holiday to show my gratefulness. I spoke once before of looking at the glass as half-full, and I’d also like to share part of a thanks-giving list I created not long before my mother died from Alzheimer’s. Looking at her strengths rather than her weaknesses at that time, I wrote that:
- Her health is still relatively good
- She can walk and talk
- She can feed herself and has a good appetite
- She accepts taking her medicine
- She entertains others with facial expressions
- She still holds her head upright and watches things around her
- She still responds in a way that lets you know she understands
- She’s still my Mom
