How many things do you take for granted?

Mobile.
Internet.
Warmth.
Friends.
School.
Food.
Time.

How many of these have you taken for granted? I know I have with a few.

Your mobile. You use it everyday. Keeping in contact with your friends, family and others. You use it where ever. When ever. And you even have the Internet on it.
You go on holiday, you take your phone. You leave the country, you take your phone. You complain your phone is rubbish. Not the latest or best one. But then as soon as it breaks or stops working, you realise how much you depend on it. It's like the whole world has left you. No texts. No calls. No Internet. Nothing.

Having a warm home. Your heating works. Everything's fine. You complain when it's cold so your parents or who ever puts the heating and hey pesto your warm. But when it breaks, it's horrific.

Your friends. You treat them horribly sometimes and they stay. But occasionally they won't, so just think, don't upset them too much, they may just not come back.

School. Everyone hates it. But as soon as you leave you'll miss it like your phone. You'll want to go back. You say now you won't, but you will, just wait.

You have food at home. But just imagine if you didn't. There are people near you and all over the world that will have a home, but no food. Some won't have either.

And finally, time. You complain you don't have enough time to do things. Not enough time to do your homework or revise. But just look back over a week and see how much time you actually wasted. What could you change and swap for doing homework or revision in?

It just goes to show that when you think about it, we all take a lot of things for granted.

So just take a minute out to think and see just exactly how lucky you really are.
