When I look back:
I look at my Father who worked hard everyday of his life to support his family.
I look at my Mother who stretched a buck until it broke.
Back when I was a kid we could not afford such a thing as a TV dinner,at that time 19 cents each,but to feed a family that was $1.00 that could be spent on 3 square meals for a family of four.
Now in the days where there is a TV in every room and at least one PC in the house, apparently this is the standard of living anymore.
Do we have a loving family, a job to support this family and a country that will support this freedom.
If yes then we don't have it so bad.
MERRY CHRISTMAS & GOD BLESS THE USA

Well put. I wish we could show our youth today how good they have it. I actually had a student in tears in my classroom last year because her dad didn't buy two jet skis that she wanted. They live on his income which is from his own business. He took his money leftover from taxes and bought machinery for his business instead. This was so unfair to her. They already have an awesome speed boat and I'd love to just have a canoe. Yep, we're spoiled.

Well said. Sometimes I think we take so much for granted. Thanks for giving me a reality check. Have a good night!
