Don't Take These Things in Life For Granted

Tweet

As we get older we start to appreciate things we should have appreciated when we were younger. There are some things we should never take for granted: OUR HEALTH When we’re young, we think we're invincible but as we age, we start to realize just how fragile our health can be. THE ABILITY TO LEARN Some of us think you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But you can. You probably heard once in a science class that your neuroplasticity changes and you stop learning at a certain age. Not true about the inability to learn. You have technology at your fingertips - learn something new. TIME Time is finite. Don't procrastinate. Don't put off seeing that relative or doing that thing saying, "I can always do it later." There might not be a later. SENSES We didn't think about how precious our ability to smell and taste was until we got COVID and lost both for quite some time. The opportunity to see, feel, taste, smell, and hear are precious gifts. RELATIONSHIPS Special friendships are hard to come by. I used to prioritize my work over my friends and family. Don't do that. Friendships are gold.
