Off late we read, see and hear of many traumatic cases of abuse, murder and mishaps from the media. When someone so precious is lost in such a senseless way, it makes me grateful that I am alive, for there is certainly nothing very precious about me. And then I realize, briefly, all too briefly, that I seldom take the time to be thankful for my life. I suspect I am not alone, and that too many of us just take life for granted. Regardless, you certainly don’t have to be religious to be grateful. I admire people who have a commendable attitude of gratefulness, and I wish I could be that way. As I write this, I am grateful for life and for the many, many blessings I have. But, I know me … it will not be long before I am taking things for granted again. In summary, I believe the very very basic Seven Wonders of Life should be dictated as :-
To be able to SEE To be able to HEAR To be able to TOUCH To be able to TASTE To be able to FEEL To be able to LAUGH To be able to LOVE
