taken for granted
each day each and everyone of us take someone for granted. I have tried for all 33 years of being married to my darling wife, i have fallen deeper and more appreciative of her every moment of every day.
since i have been terminally ill i belive i have become more aware of this phenonom.even tho my level of awareness, i find myself perpertrating this transgression not once in a while but multiple times each day.
how many times have you while watching some program on the tv or working on a project of your own you have raised the volum and clairity of your voice. example. your on the couch chips check wedge back pillow check tv guide check check tissues to blow that honker rather than useing the tools that god endowed you with your finger sleeve or one of the dirty sox you just pulled off with a sigh of relief then chucked on the small pile of other dirty clothes generated durring your harrowing exhaustuing day slaving away for the man i wander dirty sox and buggers were not the direction i was originally traveling and thanks to the modern marvel and the three pack of wireless intercoms attached or sitting within an arms reach my arm flys with deadly accuracy to the talk button and with the most loving helpless inflection in my allready pathetic voice i first profess my love for my wonderfyl wife and i then commit the offense of taking her for granted "HONEY WOULD YOU PLEASE BRING ME ANOTHER SODA OR COOKIE ON YOUR WAY BACK IN MY LOCATION" we do it all of us so next time you need anoher beer or someone to scratch your back STOP CONCIDER THAT HER HANDS MAY BE FULL ALLREADY BUT YOU ARE SURE SHE CAN JUGGLE JUST I MORE LITTLE THING GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GET IT YOUR5 SELF.
IM SORRY FOR ALL THE TRANSGRESSIONS I HAVE PLYED ON MY BELOVED AND HEREBY APPOLOGISE

Ken,
Good to see you back for a bit. So true that sometimes we take advantage of those we love. Man, if only I could get my kids to see this.
Have a great day!

We take a lot more things for granted; to counteract that has to be a constant act of awareness. We all take for granted that our spouses will 'always be there'. And until something drastic happens, we live, unconsciously, under that assumption. And then, when that drastic thing happens, we might even assume that there is some sort of master plan that changed that.
But even believing that there is a master plan and that everything is predetermined, being aware in each moment and not taking things for granted is surely a way of living more fully. Some of the great teachers will say that we can't really change anything except our attitudes.
I'm glad you were able to get up today and send a message. It's the one I needed to hear.
Thank you.
Dan

In the best of relationships it's a two way street, she brings you things, you write heart warming stories about her to a wide audience. A nice reminder for me to do something nice for hubby tonight!

It would appear that you wrote this apology yourself rather than waiting for your typist to be available. Well, I find that touching. And with valentine's day just around the corner, how appropriate to ESPECIALLY express appreciation. And as you say, why ever take anyone for granted? We can express appreciation for them all the time when we stop to be aware of all the small ways in which they vastly contribute to our lives. Bless your heart, Ken.
