How peoples priorities differ ~Is amazing~ Years ago ~ and i am going back fourty nine years ago ~ when our first child was born ~ we didnt have much ~ of anything ~ but we had everything that was important to us ~ We had each other and still do ~ *S*~ Had our health and a brand new baby ~ My husband had a job and a regular pay cheque ~ Of course he started out making over a dollar an hour ~in those days ~ Yes you wonder how we managed to live ~ Well of couurse ~anyone from that era would absolutely understand and relate to me ~*S*
We rented a place to live and always had lots of food to eat ~ We never went hungry ~And always had the neccessities~of life ~ In those days we never bought new furniture or an big car~ We drove a volkswagen ~ in which we always took our children for a summer holiday ~ somewhere ~ and went camping with a tent ~ Enjoyed every moment of happiness ~with whatever we did together~
When my husband worked ~ and time went on ~we ` somehow accumulated three more children ** *S* My feelings of accomplishment were ~washing diapers and hanging them on the line to dry and then folding them up perfectly uniform~
Then cleaning the house and polishing the floor made me feel so happy ~ the children even helped me clean or thought they did *S*~ then we would go out for a walk ~ Baking bread was also such a joy ~ The smell of bread baking ~ was just the most homey smell almost medicinal~We never wanted for anything ~ There werent any electronic gadgets or cell pnones around and it wasnt inconvienient in any way what so ever ~ But these days ~ Its *GOTTA HAVE WORLD~Starting out~ was truly the best time in our lives~
