Today, I have lots of things to be thankful for. They are all things that I have already mentioned in the past and that, most of the time, I take for granted.
For example, being able to wake up in the morning. I never give it a second thought, but there are so many people that will not wake up tomorrow. This morning, I had the blessing to wake up.
Health: this is another one I take for granted until something happens and I need a doctor. I do am grateful though for the gift of health. A sniffle here and there do not constitute sickness, at least not the kind that keeps you in the hospital, or requires surgery or some other invasive treatment.
Friends: I always have someone I can turn to for advice, help, or just laughter. Someone I can be there for as well. Friendship is not just about receiving but also giving. In Italian we have a saying that says, "Chi trova un amico, trova un tesoro" - he, who finds a friend, finds a treasure. It is true. When we find a true friend, we do find a priceless treasure.
The list of things I take for granted could go on for ever. I will stop here for today, and, perhaps, these things will give you something to think about.
