I try not to... but sometimes can't help it... I like to sit or go for walks on my own sometimes - Just tot ake in my surroundings and thing about my life... I really am grateful to be hear and be in the situation that I am in... But i've done it before and seen alot of people doing it. Taking it all for granted that is... You should respect it as you only have one chance at it.. So make it a good one...
Have you ever found yourself taking life's work for granted? even if its the little things?

Hi
I try not to take things for granted, most of my life has been a battle I didn't ask for, but I frequently forget, I think its the way of things. usually it takes something major to remind most people what they're taking for granted. I dont forget the little things(like an important day for a friend), which quite often is when most people take their friends for granted.

Alot of people TRY and not take things for granted... but to be fair you can't take everything into concideration can you? You'd never get anything done! lol But yeah... The closest friends I have (and the girlfriend) all are respected and never taken for granted (unless i'm in a bad mood, of course =P) But we can just be tahnkful for what we've got every so often and then we'll be fine i think =)

I think human nature is what causes us to take things for granted. After so long in a situation it just become expected. Like good health. As long as we are healthy we tend to think we are immortal and that nothing can stop us, until something does stop us.
I am a living example of that.
We also do the same thing with people in our lives. One has to work hard at not taking friends and family for granted. It is something that my son still needs to learn but he is young and I was the same way when I was his age.
If we can wake up every day being thankful for life it's self we might just stop taking things for granted.
