More Grateful.

SO MY AUNT DROVE INTO TOWN AND WANTED TO HANG OUT WITH THE WHOLE FMAILY. WE ENDED UP GOING DOWNTOWN AND GRABBING SOME BOMB BREAD. AFTERWARDS WE ENDED UP DRIVING DOWN DEEP WHERE MY DAD'S FAMILY GREW UP AND LIVED WAY BEFORE I WAS BORN.

MY DAD AND AUNT (SISTER) WERE TELLING US STORIES ABOUT GROWING UP ON THE FARM THEY WERE FROM. SO THEY LIVED IN A RUAL AREA, WHICH REALLY TRIPPED ME OUT COMPARED TO HOW WHERE WE CURRENTLY LIVE.

IT MADE ME GRATEFUL FOR WHAT I HAVE AND WEHRE WE ARE TODAY. THEY LIVED ON A FARM...WORKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE. SO BASICALLY LONG STORY SHORT THERE WAS A NICE BIG HOUSE FOR THE OWNERS, POOL AND ALL. ON THE OTHER SIDE MY DAD'S FAMILY LIVED IN THE BACK OF THAT HOUSE WORKING FOR THEM.

THERE WASN'T MUCH THEY COULD DO COMPARED TO WHAT KIDS THESE DAYS ARE ABLE TO DO. THEY WERE PLAYING WITH STICKS AND WE HAVE PHONES, TABLETS, CONSOLES AND COMPUTERS. 

IT MADE ME REALIZE THAT THEY MADE THE MOST OUT OF EVERYTHING. TODAYS GENERATIONS IS MORE LIKELY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT BEING BORED RATHER THAN TRYING TO FIGURE SOMETHING OUT TO DO AND ACTUALLY FIND A WAY TO DO IT.

I STILL HAVE TO LEARN TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF EVERYTHING. JUST A LITTLE RANT. GOING THERE GAVE ME A LITTLE BIT OF ENLIGHTENMENT ABOUT MAKING THE MOST OUT OF SOMETHING AND NOT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THINGS.
