There are certain things in life that many of us take for granted. Food, water, electricity, I could probably list an entire sheet of A4 paper. It sometimes pays to sit back a little and take stock of your surroundings. Realise how lucky you are. For the vast majority of residents in the UK, if thirsty, we can turn on the tap and drink water. If hungry, kitchen cupboards provide plenty of food and even close to pay-day we would never starve. Hundreds of thousands of lights, televisions, cd players, computer games and many more electrical goods are switched on each day and night without thought or care. All of the elements initially discussed are those to which we have grown accustomed to. They are part of everyday life. Should something fail however, we can be thrown into the depths of despair and worry, not knowing how to handle the given situation. On occasion, certain areas of the country have been advised that water will be switched off for a certain amount of time. All of a sudden, what comes so easily and seldom thought of has been taken away. Luckily this usually only lasts for a few hours and in cases of complete desperation, bottled water can be purchased. A blackout however is something unpredicted and can be rather unnerving when not expected. It makes sense to keep a selection of torches and even candles around the house should such an event occur. Some people choose to keep non electrical lamps in their homes which prove ideal for not only unexpected blackouts but also the environment and bank balance! During the winter periods it is darker for longer. Mornings are dismal and as a result we need to switch lights on throughout the house in order to see what we are doing. Lighting is so important. No one wants to walk up or down the stairs in the pitch black. It could potentially cause injury. Lighting in the home is not only used from a practical point of view but can be designed to shed stylish beams in certain directions thus creating an atmosphere of calm and relaxation. Taken away, we would be forced to sit by candle or torch-light until the problem was rectified. Of course, you can make this situation fun but half way through a dinner party or entertaining guests the novelty will soon wear thin. It is important to realise the elements in life that we can sometimes take for granted. Take a look around you now. If it is dark, appreciate the lights, if you are bored, enjoy something on the television. There are always those who are much worse off.
