The Things I Take for Granted

Running water...
when I want it...
as hot or cold as I want it...
and not worrying whether or not it's healthy.

Lip balm...
my lips are never dry and chapped.

Bug repellent.

Home-made macaroni and cheese...
with extra cheese...
because that's the way I like it.

Light switches.

Fresh fruit.

Sitting in the rain...
because I want to...
not because I have to.
