Ever taken someone or something for granted? How did it feel when the person you depended on was gone? It’s easy to appreciate what you have once it’s gone. The difficult task is to appreciate what we have while we still have it. Take the time to thank a friend for being there. Talk to your parents, to your grandparents, your children, or your grandchildren. Instead of wishing you had more and better possessions, try to think of the people who would love to have what you have. By learning to appreciate what you have now; it will be less of a shock once it’s gone. So take time today to cherish what you have, because it could be gone by tomorrow.

Alabama had terrible damage from storms this year. We were lucky that our only loss was electrical power---but we were without it for five days. Lack of power for five days, and we realize how we take for granted our conveniences!

It fits my fight against hydrofracking that we in New York have been resisting for a number of years. We Americans are over-consumptive in a lot that we do, including food. But if we take the oil and gas out of our Mother Earth and do so irresponsibly like we have our food intake, then we will pay the price. Future generations will not have clean drinking water and the plants and animals we eat with be genetically endangered, as will we. And the point of it all then will be what?

After a couple of accidents making it difficult for me to walk without pain, I think about taking every-day health privileges for granted. We have so many things to be thankful for each day.
