How many of us know of a house that looks like this? It may not be in our neighborhood, but we've seen it and wonder "who" could live like that? Are they happy? Are they working?Then you wonder if they had the chance, would they love to have a house like

So well said! That's a reminder many of us can use.
A bittersweet reminder for us all...be happy with what you've got:)
So true...wherever we are..we are blessed!
This really touched me as I'm working to find a better situation for my Mother who, as of last week, is in a less than desirable one. Thanks.

So true. Always good to have that reality check.
An amazing post. Thank You.
It's sad but true. I think we all forget how blessed we really are.

so true. In this world of more and more and more stuff, we all lose sight of what really matters.
Thank you for the gentle reminder.

thank you for this post.
we need to be thankful for the basics--easy to lose sight on what's really important.

What a great post, Kasey. And you're so right! There is a similar house a few blocks from here that I drive by every day and wonder about the people who live inside.
