What are you taking for granted?
As I write this, I am sat in bed on New Years Day, watching Despicable Me 2 and utterly full of cold. It is amazing how much you appreciate breathing through your nose when you cannot. It’s actually a very good reminder for the new year – to appreciate what we all take for granted.…
