Things we take for granted

 After several tests done recently, I came to know that I may have an eye disease.  I was told how to be careful about this.  One of them was that when sleeping at night, you should not sleep on your hands or face down.

 When I tried to do this precaution, I realized how difficult it was.  It didn't take long for me to realize how comfortable it is to sleep on your hands.  There is a saying that to appreciate something you have to not get it.

 There are many things that we take for granted in life or that make us happy without seeing it.  While trying not to hold hands, I felt that it was something we had taken for granted.

 How many things like this must be  around us or being used by us without knowing it.

 The association of a good friend, the recollection of old sweet and perhaps adventurous memories, living in a place where there is a chance to grow a garden, being used to read books, being able to get inspiration from a movie, no matter how delicious the meal is, picking up a green chili pod, being able to go to the yard after dinner and walk for about fifteen minutes, having a space on Facebook to at least criticize some mistakes made by the government, being free to post a comment every now and then when you feel like it, When you are standing in the garden, 

seeing your pet come to your place and sit next to your leg and do its work, the dog that comes to your room if you wake up a little late and sits by the bed until you get up, etc., etc. How many things are there that allow you to lead such a life without slowing down?  We only see them when they are gone.

 I now realize that sleeping on my face is such a small pleasure.
