Taken for granted.



Recommended Posts

I think this post was supposed to be about what we take for granted...not what we are thankful for...however its nice to know what every one is thankful for as well.

I always say you can't own a thread, you merely birth it and set it free :huggie:

Be thankful, take for granted, it's all good.

If this thread gets someone to take a moment and give a round of appreciate for something they feel deserving, have at it.

I could have taken it for granted, but I didn't...

Back when hubby and I were DINKS (Dual Income No Kids) I was on my way home from work and pulled into the grocery store, we needed the pantry stocked! So I got my buggy, shopped, no time limit, no hurry, got what I needed, checked out, loaded up, and halfway home, I realized that NEVER ONCE did it occur to me how much it was going to cost and whether or not we could afford it. I mean, it didn't even cross my mind, not even as I was paying! I just went in, and shopped and bought.

Wow. That could never happen now! LOL And what I didn't KNOW to appreciate back then was the "no hurry" factor. I am simply BLISSFUL when I have all the time in the world at the store with NO kids!

I knew back then to be grateful. Now, I'm just jealous of myself! hehe

yes yes i know we can't own a thread, i'm just being bitchy :guess please forgive me......i'm an organizational freak and i hate it when things get disorganized.....

now, for more disorganization.....

the best me - I do exactly that now. I go to the grocery store and throw in whatever I want and usually don't give a second thought to what i'm buying. You mean all that will stop when I have kids?? :huggie: Maybe I don't wanna have kids then.....:guess

It stops when you have kids, quit your job and move to one income. Now the budget is tight. And shopping is hectic. It takes time to train the kiddos how to behave in a grocery store. "No whining, no fussing, no begging, be a helper to Mommy, keep your hands to yourself and be a sweet brother/sister..." yada yada. WHEW! Enjoy your quiet! LOL

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
