Nothing Can be Taken for Granted

Every morning when I wake up, I name what I have here and now like…

I am alive…

My family are alive …

My parents are alive …

I have a house, a lifeline, something to eat and drink …

I have time, peace and freedom to think about these things…

Then my heart becomes filled with overwhelming happiness

and that almost overflows from my eyes.

***

It seems like I feel happiness without any special reasons,

because what I name is “the things of an ordinary day”.

But “a usual day” is never as a matter of course.

What we have in our daily life can’t be taken for granted.

They can’t be replaced with anything.

***

Everything changes.

Nothing lasts forever.

Sometimes when we lose something, we realize how precious it is.

So it would be nice to realize its preciousness before we lose it

and treasure each moment and every little thing in our daily life.

Then our daily life becomes not just another typical day

but a special day with full of miracles.
