So while at work I had the sudden craving for a snickers and some Arizona Lemon Iced Tea! And since they reside at the BMU just feet (ok maybe yards) from my office I decided to take a gander in that direction on my break. After picking up my treats I went and sat in the sun :)
Now this may all seem petty and simply silly, and it is! However, I realized just how fortunate I am to be able to go to the nearest little market and buy whatever my little hearts desire is at that moment. We are not oppressed people, wondering if we will even make it to the next street corner without fainting away. How blessed we are!
What amazes me is how much things have changed on this Earth. Granted I was not alive hundreds of years ago so I am simply speculating, but when you consider the dark times of the Great Depression and how every person was hoping and praying their next meal would actually fill their stomachs, we have it pretty darn good! I do realize that there are still those who question this, but the ratio has greatly declined (as far as I understand it). This is an extreme examples of course, but I simply want to point out that we are fortunate to live in this time, right here, right now!
Appreciate being able to have that snickers or lemon iced tea, for you never know when it all might be taken away.
