I guess that's really only partially true.
I do take for granted that water will flow
from the faucet and that it will be potable.
I take for granted that I will eat on this day,
and that the food will be nourishing and filling.
I take for granted that the choices I make are mine.
The things that I do not take for granted are whether
I will have food when my savings are depleted,
or a bed in a warm house on which to sleep.
I no longer take those things for granted.
There is no future guarantee of them.
But, I am grateful for them now.
