Having a roof over my head is a privilege (Day 22 - being grateful for HOME)
This article is part of my December 2020 Gratitude series that help me end this year on a more positive and inspiring note.
Today is going to be quick.
I am grateful for having a roof over my head, warm bed to sleep in, hot water, access to electricity, sense of security and resources that enable me to make my environment beautiful.
I take this for granted, not realising that I am more privileged than 2% of the population that don't have the luxury of a home. At the same time, based on the recent reports, it's estimated that nearly 1.6 billion, more than 20% of the world's population, lack adequate housing.
I am also lucky enough to have my toothbrush at 7 different houses. It might seem strange, but I just know that it is a symbol of always being welcomed at someone else’s house. And that means the world to me. I know I will always have a place to stay, but I never want to take it for granted.
My basic needs are met and even exceeded, and for that, I am so very grateful.
And what are you grateful for today?
