dear friends,

i don't know if you really will understand what i am writing or even why i am writitng this.
honestly, i do not know why i am writing it either.
maybe it is because everyone takes life for granted or maybe it is because no one ever takes time to think about things anymore.
i will tell you the most important part of my day. i will tell you the thing i did that i probably took for granted when i did.

Today I woke up and breathed.
I spent time with my mother, father, and grandparents.
I rode in a vehicle that my parents own.
I am currently living in a hotel room with air, a roof, a bed, a television, and running water.
I ate lunch at a restraunt and paid for it with cash.
I wore clothes and jewelry that are my own.
I ran my fingers through my newly cut hair.
I took off my glasses to clean them.
I walked around.
I used my cell to see if anyone had called me.
I played with my two dogs.
I read my book.
I wrote little notes to myself.
I am typing this.

Do you think about those things all of the time ? the "little things" ?
How often do you take them for granted ?
I can guaruntee you that your answer to that is, "too much."
