Taking things for granted

So I was finishing up my appointment with this body worker (he's amazing, does this mix between thai massage, energy work, rolfing, and accupressure) and I put my little bag in the front basket to drive home, and he warns me about maybe carrying it over my shoulder to avoid anything being stolen. His English isn't great, so I sluffed off his warning because I haven't heard of anyone getting anything stolen. Two days later I wake up and go to get my wallet, only to realize that it must have fallen out while I was driving my bike around. What a bummer, I had all of my credit cards, ATM, everything except my passport, thank goodness. Good thing I'll be at the meditation retreat next month, and I'll just budget until then. Anyway, when things like that happen I like to take them as a learning experience.... next time i'll be more careful, I have grown a little lazy as I've gotten more comfortable here. When something like this happens it really makes you realize how much you take that little piece of plastic for granted... and it makes me think of other things I've been taking for granted: that motorbike that takes me safely around the whole town, my health, my friends and family, this experience, grateful for it all, even grateful for this little reminder to not take anything for granted!!
