Do we take things for Granted
It occurred to me upon recently reading an excellent blog from a new lady here at WA that it is so easy to take things for granted in our lives.
Obviously the members of WA come from all neck of the woods in the world so each persons circumstances will vary from small to enormous.
In some countries it is considered normal to have three meals a day and have morning tea and afternoon tea as well , yet unfortunately complaining about ones lot in life is still prevalent .
Recently a person said to me how he was just happy to wake up each day to see the sun and breath normally. I though this was a fine attitude as there are so many people struggle with some form of hardship yet not a whisper of displeasure is emitted from their lips they just keep plodding away with their lives.
If some people had a very healthy business where people had to pay to be members and the members in turn promoted and worked hard on supporting the business and new members thus benefiting the owners it would be very sad if these people got greedy and took all their business members for Granted.
So where ever we may be I think it is important to be gracious and thankful for everything that does go our way and if it is being a tough day think of the simple little things which have already gone well for you that day and lift your head and smile then the skip will be back in your step in no time.
May your endeavor never wane.
Best Regards

Gratitude is definitely an attiitude. It takes just a moment to know that the opportunity for another day should never be taken for granted. Look around yourself and be thankful for your opportunity and your day will be a good one.
I agree, we need to be thankful for everything that comes our way. I believe the more you are thankful the more will come to you to be thankful for.
thanks for this post.
Wonderful post. We do need to appreciate the simple things. You don't realize how valuable they are until you don't have them or they are not going your way!. Thanks for sharing!
Morning Robert and yes mist people do just take things for granted because they are caught up in the rat race of the world and no time to stand back and take a look at where they are and what they are doing !
Hi Robert,
Great blog, I agree with all of your points. I for one do not require much as I'm in a good place with my life and being part of this community is an enhancement to that. I definitely appreciate having access to WA where I can network with like-minded people. I do hope that we are all grateful for what we have access to here for mere pennies on the dollar.
