The Things We Now Take For Granted

We really do live like Kings and Queens.
Unless you consider no real privacy, no real quiet, chemicals in our air and food, and electronic waves running through our atmosphere and brains.

I believe they took for granted the gift of an authentic life.

I'm grateful for my time on earth and try not to take anything for granted.

I really do like this post

and, I've pretty much beat it to death in my threads, but have toiled a bit to retrieve some of that quietude, that mountain air, pure water, peace of mind.

It's a romance of my very soul

what we wake to from our bedroom window of a given morn

simple deliberate living is a luxury that should never be taken for granted...but should be taken

That looks heavenly!
So do you run around there with your Neanderthal attire?

I never not wear a watch. I just don't carry my iphone in my hand , it's always in my bag, so I couldn't be doing with making hard work out of looking at the time, a wristwatch will always be my choice...

I have not worn a wrist watch since I retired in 2008!!

I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned 'Birth Control' and 'The Pill' in particular.
I remember those days of standing in the chemist shop trying to pluck up the courage to buy some condoms, when the lady from next door to where I lived was camped in the shop watching my every move. Then I'd chicken out and buy a bottle of Lucozade and walk out of the shop....ha ha ha.....Of course, it must have been quite embarrassing for the girls too. I'd love to hear your stories on this topic....
