The good things that happened to me today were that I did not suffer from a lack of food, water, shelter, and good health, nor a lack of caring and supportive people around me as I experienced yet another beautiful day. I know this might not sound wonderful, or appear to be something extraordinary to many others, however, there are many people—too many people—who do not have access to one, if not all, of these everyday necessities that I freely enjoy. Therefore, I ended up writing this text in observance, as a reminder, and with deep gratitude because these truly are the simple, but good things that happened to me today.
