It Will Have Been Nice Trying !

                                                          What's the highlight of your day ? Is it the children running into your bedroom and jumping in to bed beside you ? Is it the sound of some jaded lamenting cockerel screaming at the top of his voice telling you its time to get up ? I don't think so . Is it that male/female that has been looking at you every morning for the last week as you make your way to work every day ? Or is it something as simple as the birds in your garden twittering and digging as you watch them from the confines of your kitchen ? Either way no matter what does it for you , that and many other things you don't even take time to notice , are the things that make life that little bit more enjoyable and rewarding .
                                                         Its safe to say though that not all of our lives are full of highlights that you can enjoy . There are so many people out there that really don't have the luxury of looking forward to any great developments in their day . That is just so sad an existence , and the one's you really feel for are the children . All children deserve to be pampered and spoiled , They deserve to open their eyes every single morning and have love in some shape or form look straight back at them . They shouldn't have to worry about the cost of having food on their table for breakfast , but alas there are some , that to rely on having a breakfast will never be an option .
                                                        I suppose then , to mention these facts to children who don't have to worry , just to get them to eat their breakfast , is a way of instilling in them , appreciation for their good fortune . And believe me that's all it is , good fortune . Its being fortunate to have been born in Western Europe rather than Eastern Europe . The same can be said for being born in North America as opposed to South America , and so on . To think that all it is , is having good luck compared to having bad luck , and that is what determines how your life is going to be . That's why even now , I remind myself , not about the things I haven't got , but always about the things I have .
                                                      When you get older , well at least in my case I can say this , your dependency on the wanting of things kinda takes a back seat . Things aren't very important any more . and certainly wanting things just doesn't feed your desires any more . You see everything you might like is just an exact copy of something you probably have already  . Okay its a newer model , but if like me you can exist without that newer model well then do so . Especially when you think of the lengths some people will go just to upgrade .
                                                     I'm kinda waffling on a bit now , and when that starts to happen , its the minds way of saying you are over extending yourself a little . Try pulling back , just a bit , and let whoever reads this make up their own minds . I ask myself then , can they be trusted to use this information wisely ? By passing on my observations will it make the world a better place ? Most certainly not, but it will have been nice trying !
