There are so many beautiful things in this life that we take for granted.

I realized the other day that there are many people who seem to overlook everything that should be cherished. It's awful to see people so attached to material things when there is so much more out there.  

1. Family. I don't know if anyone truly realizes what they do for us. Even if you had no family growing up, it makes you who you are. 

2. Friends. These are the people who would do just about anything for you, from listening to you complain, to helping you through anything. 

3. Sunrises and sunsets. I mean, come on. These are one of the most beautiful things and we can see each one once a day. 

4. Flowers. I am allergic to most flowers, but I still love how beautiful they are.

5. Senses. We really take these for granted. How often do we realize how important they are?

6. Good health. Some people aren't as lucky as others when it comes to good health, but it is definitely something that shouldn't go overlooked. 

7. Rain. This is one of my favorite things except when I have to drive in it, then I'm not so happy. But, it does so many great things for us. 

8. Music. It can get anyone to change their mood and most of the time it's into a good one. Music is universal, even if you don't understand the language, you can understand what emotion is put into it. 

9. Your mistakes. There is no better way to learn in life than from your mistakes. How would you be where you are without them? 

10. You. Because it is important to appreciate yourself so that you can touch the world with your presence. 

These are just 10 things, there are so many more things that you should be thankful for and appreciate in this life.
