Don't Take Life for Granted
Take nothing for granted!
Health.
Oftentimes we forget that being healthy and alive is a blessing. Our human bodies are fragile and finite. If you are breathing and healthy today, you are blessed!
Home.
A roof over your head, a warm place to sleep, a clean place to bathe, and a safe place to live are luxuries!
Food.
Food to fill our bellies is not a given. The blessing of nourishment is wonderful!
Clothes.
Clothes for your body are not a given. To be covered and warm is yet another blessing that is easily overlooked!
Luxuries.
Transportation, TVs, washers and dryers, dishwashers, clean water, soap, learning resources, electricity, internet, etc., etc., etc. These are all luxuries that make life comfortable, but they are not givens. Having access to all of these luxuries is yet another blessing!
People.
No man should dwell alone. We need each other to survive! The people in your life who love you and choose to be in your life should never be taken lightly or forgotten!
Time.
Time keeps ticking away; we never know how much of it we have. It's easy to forget that we don't have an infinite number of days on this earth. Each moment is a blessing and should be treasured!
Don't take anything for granted!
So often we take things for granted, but when we lose them, we understand what we had and we should have been grateful. When we are young we expect our parents to be around to provide for us, protect us and love us unconditionally. But that can be taken away in an instant. Cherish each day as it is your last and you will have no regrets.
I couldn't have said it better!
Beautiful....I have had an injured shoulder for about 2 months, and after it somewhat healing where I am able to finally do things for myself, I realized just how fortunate I really am. While I could have complained about cleaning the toilet, I remember that it wasn't long ago I couldn't do anything and was in a lot of pain. I love that you put "soap" as a luxury, it makes you think about the absolute littlest things in our lives that really are luxuries.
That is a great perspective! :)
I don't like pasting images into the comments section because it looks spammy, but this spoke to me. There are a lot of things that I would like to be different in life. I see that other people have ____ and I would like it. I always have to go back to something like this picture and remember that I have a LOT to be thankful for!
I feel the same about this quote! :)

This is a beautiful post I must say, we often complain about the things we do not have without appreciating the things we've been blessed with.

We live only once so life indeed shouldnt be taken for granted. Thanks sharing this with us @uglysweater
Yes, only one life to live. :)
I agree with all of this :) We shouldn't take anything for granted, it all can change instantly. We need to appreciate all the things we have.
Yes! :)
beyond the material things we have to value and learn how majestic life is and give thanks every day for the people who are by our side day by day supporting and accepting how we are ... the man alone is no one the woman alone is nobody, we always need someone by our side family, children, couples, pets I like how you write
