Taking things for granted....

When I was Athens, I met Hamish. He had been vacationing in Athens for a month and told our group one day that he sometimes found himself taking the Parthenon and all its amazingness for granted. From that point on, I vowed never to take things in my life for granted. I want to savor every moment.
Until Rachel’s friend, Steph, came to Brno to visit. We took her around our beautiful city. Steph is studying abroad in Northern Ireland this semester. She was very impressed with the architecture and the beauty that I was surrounded by from February to May. She totally went into tourist-mode. She was taking pictures of EVERYTHING!
Rach and I found ourselves asking her what she was taking pictures of. There were some instances where we tried to convince her to not even take the photos. Then we realized that we had become HAMISH! We were taking things in Brno for granted! Wow! I really suck! Lesson learned….
