What do you feel entitled to? Your life, job, spouse, happiness, health, good weather? It’s remarkable how we can feel that we have earned our stations in life and are entitled to all the good things.

Until something happens to take it away.

A diagnosis, job loss, natural disaster, and then we realize we weren’t entitled to any of it after all. It was a gift, and we hadn’t been grateful.

Right now, I’m experiencing a bit of a health crisis that has me worried about my eyes and thinking about all the millions of things I love to see. My family, my garden, my cats, my friends, everything, really. What a miracle it is to see.

Maybe today is a good day to pause and think of all the things you love to see. Or hear. Or experience.

Think of all you have been blessed with and be grateful.
