Taking Things for Granted

Hello! SilverDawn here with another post on Gratitude!

In the Western world, we tend to take things for granted - things such as that we have a roof over our heads, a warm bed, food and water, a loving family, and friends. 

If all these things were taken away from you, how would you feel? Sad, scared, depressed, and maybe angry, I imagine. But you don't think about that when you have them, do you? Well, count your blessings and you'll be happy. Here are some of mine:

  • Loving, kind, sensible parents
  • A wonderful sister
  • Lots of friends
  • A lovely home
  • Five adorable cats
  • Food and drink
  • Clothes
  • Education
  • Books
  • Toys
  • The ability to make a blog
  • Authorship on this blog
  • A friendship with wonderful people like FrostWolf
  • An ability to things which make me happy, like drawing and riding
  • Special experiences such as the times when we visited Africa
And thousands of other things! Thousands of them!

Lots of people keep wanting more, and more, and more - but they don't realise that they already have everything they need to make them happy. 

I hope I or somebody else hasn't posted this before!
