I am so glad.

Only within the last ten years of my entire life have I been able to have these things.

I have lost everything and everyone I love more than once.

You ever lost everyone and everything?

Longest I ever went without food of any kind is five weeks.

How long have you gone without eating?

So forgive me if I want to take a moment and really appreciate what I have now.

And the fact that I can lose it all and still work to gain it all back is another reason why this country is so great.

The most important thing is not what you have, it's how you think, if you have had many a negative experience then you have more potential for growth than those that haven't had such experiences. Although after looking up on the nocebo effect and other psychological concepts like self fulfilling prophecies it is all down to the way you think and react ti the things that happen ti you, also if you can you lose something twice, that implies it is misplaced and findable.
