What if?

So what if you woke up tomorrow morning and the only things you were left with were the things that you said thank you for today? Scary thought, honestly. Personally, I would have very little. On most days I wouldn't even have my eye sight or my ability to walk. I wouldn't have the clothes that I do, the house that I live in, or the ability to choose what I want to do with my life and be able to pursue that through the support of my family. The list is seemingly endless. Now, I'm not saying that we should all just sit there and think of every single tiny little thing that we can. However it does make one stop and think for a little bit about how many things there are to be truly thankful for that many may take for granted. In my personal opinion, life is way too short to take anything for granted. Most of the time when we go out to eat or lay down to sleep in a warm bed during the winter we are just not cognizant of how much of a blessing that is. Imagine waking up the next day to find that you don't have anywhere to sleep anymore. I am not trying to sound self-righteous or that I am lecturing anyone by writing this because I can tell you with full certainty that I wouldn't have much left at all if the above statement were to occur. But thinking about this sure helps me to realize the small things in life that would otherwise go unnoticed. Just something to think about.
