Ya know the cheesy cliche “you don’t know what you have until it’s gone?” Well. It’s true.
I jacked up my knee yesterday (breakdancing, of course) and am constrained to crutches and a lot of pain. Being injured has made 18,352 things that much more difficult. Little things that I take for granted that I’m able to do with ease when I’m in my normal state of functioning.
Things like:
Taking a shower
Brushing my teeth
Getting a tortilla
Taking my orange juice glass to the table
Walking up stairs
Carrying a book with me to the bathroom
Putting clothes in my closet
You know, those things you did this morning. Those things.
And although it sounds cheesy to the extreme, I’m grateful for the little things today.
