I often find myself taking some days I wake up for granted. Just taking time to realize how important each day is, I think is overlooked by a lot of people. What are some things you take for granted?

Hi. I take a lot of things for granted. One is my parents who are always looking out for me. I guess most of us do that. We realize their importance only when we are no longer in their company and live elsewhere. And when we feel lonely.

Not only then. Personally, I realized how important parents are (no matter how much you may find them annoying) when you leave your friends because they're 'tards or if they leave you. Friends may be the family we choose for ourselves, but most times family-bond through blood comes out strongest.

Yes, that is absolutely true. Parents are annoying most of the time. Include my two sisters in the list. But they have been a pillar of support when I went through some bad experiences in life. I regret giving my parents a tough time and behaving badly. I somtimes wish I could make things better.

Hmmm, let's see. The roof over my head, when others are homeless; my mom, who I've often said I hated; my computer and the internet.
I agree that "It's life" and we can't always think how important each day is; we would go mad if we do. Our minds are built in such a way that we make assumptions and keep expectations so that we aren't always suspicious or observant of everything.

There are alot of things that I take for granted. The lights in my house will work is one of them. My car that I have will start and I can drive places. The water that I use for my shower will be there when I need to use it. The micro-wave will work when I need to cook food. There are so many different things that I take for granted that will be there on a daily basis that I cant even think of them all.
