Dear Me,
So often things are taken for granted. So often things go unappreciated. And its almost always the simple and mundane things. Or so we see them as. For often they are also the important foundational things we forget to appreciate and we take for granted. We may even to so far as to complain about them. Our health, our safety and security and sense of well being. Access to fresh clean water, food and shelter. A childhood of innocence, an education, transportation, medicine, a voice, free speech… It goes on.
Gratitude is an important act to perform on a regular basis. Gratitude is an intervention. It brings with it a different perspective. It gifts us a sense of appreciation in what we have in the current moment. It gives profound enlightenment and clarity on what is truely important; on what needs our attention; on what is being neglected or unappreciated to the point of falling away or falling apart.
The philosopher Bertrand Russell has said, “In all affairs it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you take for granted.”
so, what do you take for granted?
