What Are The Little Things About Life You Don't Take For Granted by Opeyemiextra(f): 8:35pm On Dec 07, 2021
Most of us are always waiting on some big breakthrough, breathtaking achievement before we celebrate. We assume that if it's not making news it's not worth it. Let's learn to enjoy even the little things around that we overlook while waiting for our big celebrations. Let's make sure we live, every moment without hesitation.

For me, the welcoming smile on kids faces makes me remember my childhood, and how much and far I have come.
I'm grateful for true family and sound health. In the last two years, I suffered serious health decline that I couldn't even swallow saliva. I take every meal with a sense of gratitude now.

Being able to breathe, eat , sleep, having good health and a place to live.


People pay alot for these simple things but I know the value thus I practice gratitude daily.

Ability to swallow.

I read a book years back, I think it was Ben Carson's book where a guy had brain issues and he could not swallow food or water.

The guy underwent multiple surgeries to fix the condition, something wey I dey do without thinking.

The gift of life and being alive and healthy.. I always thank God every day for seeing the brightness of the day...

Anytime I get body pain or headache, I just get over-the-counter medications.. Some times ,I don't even take anything at all and it goes... No serious issues...

I don't take it for granted... Money buys lots of things but it doesn't buy health..If u go to the hospital and try palliative care units, U will understand what I'm talking about..
So for me, every passing day is a gift..

Ability to fart or poo without stress. I wont forget the night that I couldnt poo for over 2 hours because of constipation. Blood and mucous was flowing out from my anus and the pain was undescribables. I could feel the mass of the poo in my rectum but I couldnt drop it. It was hell but thanks to God its over

After you have made your own "brilliant" or "stupid" moves, remember God, too is playing in this game called life, so He too is making or shall make His Own Moves too.

Food, Sleep, work, relaxation.

You see that food aspect, my laziness has never reached that stage of not being able to cook when hungry..

If you have been continuing experiencing body pain and headache, then you should consider your job/activities before thinking about medication. That could natural cure the pain with no repetition

You are correct.. I like running on weekends... But some times, I don't do it..and any period I stopped,(say 2months break,) I will start experiencing pains.. immediately I resume, it will stop... so within that period, I just take pain killer... I kinda know it's nothing serious..

Gratitude,try to be as polite as possible to everyone and not being class conscious and interact with everyone the same.
It helps a lot, gives street cred and love.

Sleep, people don't seem to realise that when they sleep they are semi-dead, your body, mind and soul shuts down temporarily, and within that period one can transcend to the afterlife, so I'm always super grateful that whenever I wake up and open my eyes, I'm able to recognise my environment, it's a privilege, and I'm grateful.

That's a big thing to be grateful for. Recently I had my brush bristles stuck in my throat swallowing was hell even my own saliva . I suffred for close to two weeks and then I know the ability to swallow without any ish is a big deal and now I'm grateful even for the ability to poo without assistance.

I can relate. I couldn't fart or belch for more than a year. My stomach was always bloated. The pain during this period cannot be described. I'm grateful for healing.

I think I don't appreciate things enough until I suffer or have a problem with what I usually do seamlessly.

I also don't document little wins like the OP said in the first paraphras.

My problem is maybe I don't care or I usually forget or I have a problem celebrating. I also don't like celebration undecided

I'm also on this table sometimes. Getting dress and then just lost interest in going. And, most people like that you show up for their events or hang out. I hope to do better moving forward.
