    I don’t want to take anything for granted. I don’t want to miss the blessings and gifts, no matter how small, of every single day.

    1. My health. I did a lot of walking and hiking in Ireland but at one point (at one of the steep hikes) there was a defibrillator sign. Just a reminder to take things slow and not over do!
    2. My family and friends
    3. Many great life experiences – As I have said in the past my Mother died at age 63, forever in my mind that Life is short and to continue
    to try to find joyful times and experiences in my life.

    There’s actually quite a long list, as I
    find myself taking all of this for granted
    from time to time and instead of gratitude
    for what I have and how lucky I have been
    and am, I get sidetracked with regret, envy,
    guilt, shame, and on and on.
    But if there’s one thing, I guess I never want
    to take this day for granted.

    I want to remember to be grateful for nature,
    the comforts of home, the people I love,
    and the joys of drawing and painting. ♥️

    I am also grateful for grateful.org
    Brother David, the leaders at Grateful,
    and those who work behind the scene.
    I am grateful as well for the question of the day
    and all of you who read it and share.
    Wishing many blessings to all!

    The fact that I wake up everyday free from physical pain and have usually had a good nights sleep. I have a roof over my head and food in my refrigerator. I have heat and the snuggles of my beloved pets. My 13 year old daughter still kidded me bye in the morning and tells me to have a good day. I don’t have to worry about where the next meal will come from or if my bills will get paid this month. I have many blessings and for some reason I always focus on the negative and what I don’t have. So from this day forward I will not take for granted
    -my health
    -my security
    -that I’m surrounded by beings that love me

      I relate to focusing too much on the negative, Jennifer.
      I too am ready to reset my mind and heart to gratefulness.

      My Ngoc, your response links perfectly to mine just like how there’s Algebra 1 going to 2 followed by College Algebra.

    I don’t want to take my current state of health for granted. I had a serious heart attack a few months back and now I am traveling in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The other day; I had a drop in blood pressure while having lunch at a restaurant. I became unconscious for a minute or so . I was not able to get up and walk. An ambulance was called and off I went to the hospital. All I could think of was this another heart attack- but my defibrillator did not go off ! At the hospital my EKG, and all my blood work was good…My BP came back and I felt much better. One of my medications was stopped and I have been doing well since. I have had a heart attack but I can still be active and walk and bike and do things. I am so thankful for this current state of health…and pray it continues despite my ups and downs. Bless you all.

      Nanette, I am so happy you were able to get help.
      You are amazing with all the activities you are able to do.
      Go girl go!
      From experience I will remind you to stay hydrated.
      What a lovely area you are in. Enjoy!

    Fortunately, both my mom and dad are currently in the recovery stages of their step 2A Breast cancer and multiple mialoma for the time being respectively. This points to family, culture, and elders. These people happen to be there when needed most. This question reminds me not to take whatever Paw Mu taught me and how she went out of her way to care for me for granted.
