Things I take for granted

I know that most of the time I take for granted the wonderful life I live and that I don't even recognize half of the things for which I should be grateful. One thing I realized today that I take for granted is that when I send my child to school someday, I expect that the school building itself will not fall down on him. I feel really sad for the families in Haiti that are dealing with the collapse of two schools within a week. I love to travel and visit new places and learn about new cultures, but I'm glad that I live in the USA. It's not perfect - no place is - but it's still a great place to live.
