For Granted or For Grateful

I take it for granted that:

I have two working legs that can walk, run, bend, skip, gallop, and do just about everything else that I ask them to.

My friends will be there for me. At all hours of need. Without question and without fail.

My town is not on fire.

I have a dog that gets so excited to see me he will twirl himself into walls, yelp loudly, and nip lovingly (out of sheer delight and pure love).

I have a car. And it runs.

I am safe, healthy, and well fed.

Both of my parents are still alive.

I live a block from the ocean.

I have a voice. And it's working right now.

I have a second chance.

(Everything on this list, and SO MUCH MORE, are opportunities to be grateful. And for that, I am blessed).
