"Maybe we're not supposed to be happy.
Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. 

Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. 

Appreciating small victories.
Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. 

Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. 

And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. 

At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still 

be standing is reason enough to celebrate."
