what I used to take for granted

:: going to the bathroom alone
:: eating without someone sitting on my lap or sharing my plate
:: silence in the car
:: the impulse to check myself in the mirror
:: time to think
:: a full night's sleep

I also used to take for granted that I knew just how much I could be surprised, wowed or bowled over by joy. I'll trade sleep and time and privacy for this kind of lump-in-the-throat delight any day. Although, if I could just get one minute in the bathroom alone. . .
