you dont notice what you have until its gone. is that true for you?

thank you for creating such a great discussion.. i am happy what i am...

That is human nature my dear. It happens to everyone. We need to be thankful for what we have, and take a moment to think about it.

Oh yes... that's true, for sure. Human Beings have a tendency to take a lot for granted. For instance, did you ever just sit in the middle of a field, or somewhere out in the country and really think about what we have? Also, you don't think of children dying. You see it happen all around, but when I lost my grandson to cancer, that was the most harrowing part of my life. Sure, I loved him, had fun with him and appreciate still what time I had with him, but now he's gone, it's so difficult to understand the reasoning behind it all. Sure... we take too much for granted and we don't know what we've got till it's gone.
