the madness seems to be getting worse, or maybe it’s just that my tolerance level is getting lower as i get older? probably more to the point i think!
the thinking behind people turning violent or nasty over material things just eludes me. at the end of the say, it’s a “thing” FFS. certainly not worth turning on each other over….

We too are very fortunate in life.We might not have everything we want but we have everything we need.
you know honey, i know from first hand experience that the more you have, most times the more you want..we have a wonderful family, food, a roof over our heads, clothes to wear and friends to die for..what more do we really need?
wishing trees are a great idea…i believe every person should at least leave something little…it doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, just a little something to brighten a child’s life…that doesn’t take a lot…i’ve found that those who say they can’t afford it can always find money for alcohol and cigarettes…funny about that hey??
