One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to
the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be
considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the ! father a sked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a
creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen
if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about
what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
Pass this on to friends and acquaintances and help them refresh their
perspective and appreciation.
"Life is too short and friends are too few."

So things have been great today. I have not gotten a lot done but I have figured a lot out. I got to talk to Becky today for a while and that was fun. It's fun hanging out with her. She's great, her and Aaron are so cute together.
Let's see Psychology was okay, all we did was pretty much grade our test and she gave us our homework that is to be done by Thursday because she has gone horse for the day. I don't know how I did on my test but it was not a s good as I thought I was going to do but it was better than it used to be. It will end up being okay all in all.
Lets see...what else...hmmm Jessica went to the doctor and I talked to her on the phone but she didn't tell me much about what was said. Ummm...what else? I got a random phone call from Jennifer H today. She normally does not call me, but I talked to her for a while. That was fun...which since I left sometimes it's not always to fun. Yep yep....it was good!
So yeah, ummmm I guess thats about it because I think I'm going to go to my room and redo my paper...then reprint it for Geela, Shane or whom ever to peer read it.
TTYL!
In HIM!
