I've been thinking lately about all the things that have not happened in my life. For example, I haven't:
- lived in a war-torn country where things are constantly being bombed
- experienced severe famine where I didn't have food to eat
- gone hungry for lack of food
- had my possessions destroyed in fire, flood, or other natural disasters
- been homeless
- lived somewhere where I was afraid of what the government might do
- been imprisoned, justly or unjustly
- been through a divorce
- lost a child or spouse or parent
- been assaulted
And those are just some of my have-nots. Not to say I haven't had some hard haves, but all in all, I feel like my life is pretty fortunate.
And now I'm going to go knock on wood.
