I have learned in my 74 years it is possible that if we didn’t have the misfortunes, we would not recognize the blessings. Well penned. ☺☺

Being raised in a family with five other siblings, money was scarce.We had loving parents, a roof over our heads, clean clothes, and an education when we would complain about not having extras my dad would say; “You complain about only having peanuts to eat, but look behind you and you will see someone eating the shells”. I never forgot that. ☺
