Then I read the discussions on TOTV and the subjects people are concerned about and I just have to shake my head. Are golf problems, market value, carts, seating at bars, lawn care that important to everyone? Have any of us had to stand in line for hours for food handouts? Make a choice between medicine and food? I would bet that 90% of the world's population would gladly take our places. Let's be thankful for what we have and not make "things" and $$$$ our main focus. If you would like to help someone perhaps you could donate part of that (probably not needed) stimulus check to a foodshelf.
Let's step back and show some appreciation for our good fortune!!!


....apparently it's SO MUCH easier to complain, moan, find faults, point fingers, be angry, grumble, whine, and generally be a glass-is-half-full (or empty) person.

I always say that if I would open a ToTV thread saying "what a beautiful day in The Villages", some would mention a cloud, wind, or certainly dog poop.

We are so fortunate, and so appreciate that every day.
