--"Wow, you have a lot of animals! It's like a mini-farm. Do you sell the eggs from the chickens?"

" Not for profit. For comfort that's what we raise animals for."

--"How do you mean?"

" We take great comfort in knowing where our meat comes from, the conditions they were raised in and what they were fed. It is the same reason we try to grow some of our vegetables as well. "

--"Well, I'm not worried about that. I know where my food comes from. It comes from the store! Ha, ha!"

"I'm pretty sure the joke is eventually going to be on you."

Why Moan?

I am always amazed at the people who ask why. 

"Why oh why oh why...me?"

Growing up we weren't allowed to ask why. If it happened to you, you just dealt with it. If you asked "Why?" you might be "feeling sorry for yourself". It seems like a harsh way of raising a child but we lived a harsh life and that had to be dealt with. You couldn't just sit and moan "Why?". 

Looking back on it now, I do not regret that we were raised this way. I seldom have trouble dealing with what life hands me. Why oh why? .....Because.

I hope I do this right as I found this blog and just so wanted to try it so made a new blog of my own just for writing. 

My untied shoelace changed my life. As I leaned down to re-tie it, I kicked away a few leaves. When I turned my head slightly to look where the leaves had been, I was astonished to see a rubber-banded wad of hundred dollar bills nestled in a little indention in the muddy ground.

As I picked it up I thought of all the things I could do with the money and the temptation was there urging me to walk away and keep the money. Instead I walked into the little convenience store I was stopped at. She was in there with her small boy, frantically searching through her purse, looking for the money to purchase her items.  Searching turned to panic and I couldn’t stand it anymore.

“ Are you missing something?”

“Yes, my whole paycheck!”

She looked so terrified.

“Is this it? I found it outside.”

“Yes! Thank you!”
