It may be a subtle difference, but I'm thinking that my brain likes "Even on a bad day, I can do X" better than "I can do X and Y and Z unless I have a bad day", because it emphasizes what I CAN do rather than what I can't. Maybe that's ableist, too -- I really will have to think about that -- but I like a system that gives me a way to "plan for the worst and expect the best".
