How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?

Over the years I've thought and spoken a lot about time: It only goes one way, it must be made the most of, it has an end, it changes things...there's many things that matter when it comes to time, many things people spend it on, plenty of things they probably should not and loads of things about time that can be seen as positive and negative. I'm not going to rehash all of that right now however I want to mention the importance of right now - I mean the present.
At this time of year I look backwards over the year and forwards to the next and think about how I can learn from the past and improve the future but mostly I think about the present as I feel it is a good time to think about what I'm grateful for in the moment as it feels motivating at a time when I'm thinking about the past and future with a mind to improve the latter.
So many people waste time thinking about what they do not have instead of what they have in the here and now and while I think future planning is critical to make it as good as possible it's vitally important to stop and feel genuine and deep gratitude for what, and who, we have around us in the present.
With this in mind I want to ask you folks to take the time to respond (if you'd like to) with one or two things you feel grateful for in this very moment. It could be health, a person close to you, an item; really it's anything you're feeling grateful for right now. Feel free to drop it into the comments and let me know, maybe around 50 words as I don't have loads of time to read lengthy responses, and I'll issue out a few decent comment votes to some who respond.
