I hadn’t really thought about how much we define ourselves in our society (and most developed societies) by what we “do” – this post helped complete the thought circle in my head. Thank you.

In the last couple of years I’ve spent so much time in areas where people just are and survive – they work the fields, fetch water, mind the vegetable stand at the market for a little cash, cook, clean, make sure the kids get off to school (and dream of a better future for them) and then the day ends and the next day the same cycle starts all over again. I would never want to trade places – I know how difficult life can be for them – but I wonder how I’ll adjust when I finally return to the world of “doing” again.

Truly, though, it will occasional strike me out of the blue how much I have. Its impossible to constantly think that way or you would never enjoy it, but it is great every once in a while to realized how blessed we are.

Just make the most of it, is my opinion on the matter.
