We all watched the news together and discussed it. When my daddy worked away he would send the newspapers from where ever he was so our horizons were broadened. I now live next door to that little farm, have a little farm of my own and have raised an awesome son with little or nothing but he too has learned, the same way I did about the world. We still sit down at meals and talk about it all. I have never owned a new vehicle, a new house, a new appliance (well major ones) but I don't feel poor by any means. We are happy, healthy and take care of each other. I think life is what you make of it. Having lots of money isn't everything but sometimes we all think a bit more would be wonderful but as long as you're happy where you are, you're able to learn, stretch your wings and be willing to explore, anything is possible. I have vast knowledge of many things from all the different things I've done in life and though I'm not a college graduate I do know how to run three sucessful businesses, take care of multi cultural families and talk politics with the best of them. I think a person can be anything they want if they put their minds to it. Even in simply lives everything is possible.<br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It is so wonderful to read what's happening in other lives.<br />Take care and have a blessed evening.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15956818436541141380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-22349739855207222612010-03-30T11:03:38.749+03:002010-03-30T11:03:38.749+03:00GLynis: I know what you mean.

People with less vivid imaginations tend to not get so upset over the things they haven't accomplished. Those of us whose imaginations spin out of control have a tough time accepting we can't always live the dreams we have in our heads.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726858055689145824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-65964747652260043322010-03-29T15:22:45.013+03:002010-03-29T15:22:45.013+03:00I have far less now than I had in the UK.

I would love your farm life too.<br />The more we have, the more we want and that does not always produce happiness.Glynis Peters https://www.blogger.com/profile/01175378917872403609noreply@blogger.com
