Taking Things For Granted JD
I think that quite a few New Zealanders take to many things for granted. Food, shelter, immunisation, hospitals, there's a lot of things we take for granted while other people in different countries can't afford, or don't have. I remember when I was stuck in hospital and had a drip in my arm. I was 8 and really hated being cooped up in a bed. Every day for 5 minutes I was allowed off the drip and would run up and down the corridors for as long as I could. I reallised that I took being mobile for granted. Now whenever I run down the soccer pitch or something, I'm grateful that I can run, and don't have a huge, crippling injury.

Wow, JD, why were you in hospital? I feel the same way, when I was 9 I had surgery on my legs and I was in casts for six weeks. I took being able to run and stuff for granted, I was in a wheelchair for a while.
ReplyDeleteIt would be hard to be JD cause he can't take it for granted that he will get a truck. I feel sorry for you JD.
ReplyDeleteHa ha very funny Noah. I was in hospital with a sinus infection, nothing on my legs just you can't move very fast with a drip in your hand!
