Paying Attention

by Kay Heitsch
There are so many things in life we take for granted. We don't realize what we have until we no longer have it. Then our eyes are opened. We realize we hadn't been paying attention.
It's funny how when some freedom is taken away we didn't realize how much we took that for granted. This goes for our health or just about anything.
When we can get up and walk, see, hear, eat, we pay little attention. But let something happen where we can't do any of them, then our eyes are opened. We realize we were not even paying attention to what we had.
Today's quote is a reminder, "Sometimes bad things in life open up your eyes to the good things you weren't paying attention to before."
Paying attention to what's going on in our lives can help us to be thankful for what we do have. Let's not wait until it's gone before our eyes are opened to the good things we already have.
