Take for granted. It means:
To consider to be true without evidence, assume
To disregard or undervalue a person’s or thing’s worth
To believe as valid or correct
To treat with contempt or disrespect
To take advantage of, impose upon
It’s easy to take things for granted … until something out of the ordinary occurs.
In my case, it was a cancer diagnosis.
It required my full concentration on multiple levels: physical, emotional, and spiritual.
My biggest take-away from this adventure, which is ongoing, is claiming my voice.
I said “yes” to a colonoscopy.
I said “yes” to surgery.
I say “yes” to a ketogenic food plan.
I say “yes” to ongoing collaborations with healthcare providers.
I say “no” to chemotherapy.
As we begin 2024, may you experience life with fresh awareness. What you took for granted, you now notice and make renewed choices.
Happy New Year!
