Taking Things for Granted

What's something you've recently taken for granted?

That was the beginning of the prompt for my gratitude journal a few days ago.
Even though I do try to practice gratitude daily, I don't always respond to these prompts as they come up. This one resurfaced to my thoughts this morning.

I do take it for granted that I get to sleep each day until I'm finished. This morning that was well past 9 o'clock. I knew I was tired when I turned in last night, but -- wow! I was really surprised when I looked at the alarm clock on my night stand and saw the time. (I should probably just call it a clock at this point. I rarely use the alarm part.)
This morning I am stiff and a little sore from the work I have been doing around the yard (another privilege I have). I am tempted to give myself the day off, but with rain in the forecast for the next couple of days I had better get some more work done today. 
Having had to do physical labor for work in the distant past, I rarely took the benefits of using mental skills for granted in my work as an air traffic controller. Working in lumber yards and factories without heating or a/c was a world away from the comfort of working on my butt in a tower or radar room.

Retirement and its freedoms are not to be taken for granted. I am so grateful for the career I had and what it is still providing for me and Chris today.

What is something that you have recently taken for granted?
