Lucky doesn't even begin to cover it

Today I am grateful for my life, a life that I have been blessed with.

I am grateful for my safety, for the safety of my family and ones I love, for freedom I have, to have the ability to walk outside without fear. That my dad who is sick at the moment, is in hospital getting the best treatment and care he can get, that i live in a country where this is available to us at the tip of fingers. And while I might worry about him, i know he will be ok.

For the fact that i get up each day, and mere survival isn't the first thing on my mind.

That I can go about my life and daily rituals without a second thought really, it's all taken for granted, it's just the way it is. There is always food on the table, a roof over my head, shelter from rain and storms.

That I won't be persecuted for my opinions and beliefs, that i can speak my mind freely, attend rallies and donate and help others will worrying about the consequences.

And when things seem to hard, challenge or upset me, I know that compared to what many people face my problems and issues are small and trivial.

That i was lucky enough to be born into this life.

Yes Lucky doesn't even begin to cover it.
