Writing what is on my mind…………
Some people, including myself, forget how blessed we are
with the amount of things we have. Today, I watched two woman sit down at a
resuturaunt table to dine on their fresh tossed salads. But before one minute
had gone by, the elder of the two began ranting over the amount of salad
dressing on her salad. She wanted more then what she had. Rather than politely
walking to the counter to ask for more dressing, she sat in a state of displeasure.
My mind goes to children and people throughout
this world that have little to no food for their hungry stomachs. Yesterday, my
sister who is a Registered Dietitian told me about another dietitian that was
working with woman who where pregnant. These woman are working twelve to
fifteen hour days in crop fields. Crop fields here in America. These women are struggling
to provide for their families and children. These
women are probably from other countries, but I still find it sad see two women,
who have more than they could ever need, sat and complain about salad dressing,
while another woman is laboring for pennies out in a field. A man, dressed in a white T-shirt and cream
toned dress pants sets at a table
located ten feet away from me. His dark brown hair is peppered with strains of
grey. His face is creased with wrinkles,
wrinkles that are hapilly dancing across his face as he looks upon the screen
of his laptop. A headset choired, fitted with a mike, runs from his right ear toe the headphone port
of his laptop. His speech is in a different language, but I do not need to
understand his words. I understand well enough that he is speaking to his
family. Maybe he is talking to a family member far away, or maybe just in a
nieboring city. Where ever the place of the person he is in conversation with -
He is experience joy.
