For the first time in my adult life, we lost power at my place.
We lit candles and reminisced over the good days when we could sit on our phones with the lights on. Instead, we had to sit on our phones with the lights off.
It got me thinking…what else do we constantly have at our disposal that we totally take for granted? It didn’t take me long to realize the answer: everything.
The fact that I…
• can see and hear • have all four of my limbs • don’t have any major disease • have friends • have parents and grandparents who are alive
The list could literally go on forever.
One day, these things will be taken from me. The only thing I can do is cherish them in the present.
