Simple Happiness



There are times when I forget how fortunate I am, despite experiencing some things in the past.
I forget how fortunate I am to have the ability
to breathe so easily.
to walk without external support
to talk and have people understand me
to see everything around me (that is...physically)
to smell
to taste
to feel (either physically or emotionally)
to comprehend
to be: myself

It's scary to think exactly how many people lack at least one of the things I listed...

I hope I don't waste a day of these abilities, for the sake of those who don't.

And of course, there are always going to be people who don't even think of how fortunate they are.

It's human nature to always wish for things you don't have...but at least be happy with what you already have.
