Forever grateful

I must be one of the most fortunate people around. I seem to have everything I need...plus more. I have a family that appreciates me, a job that sustains me, lots of true friends, some of whom have been with me through the rough and tough patches in my life, I am in good health, I am happy, stress-free (at least for now), I have peace of mind, I have food to eat and a warm place I retire to at the end of every day. I have a cozy bed to sleep on, I live in a a peaceful country with all manners of freedoms and rights. I am no better than those in Darfur facing annihilation and who live knowing that the very next minute might be their very last before they get decapitated...their crime? having been born in that part of the world. I have so much more in comparison with the rest of humanity, whose majiority languishes below the poverty line. I may not be affluent in monetary terms, but I sure do live a heavily enriched life and for that I will be forever grateful.
