Growing Up In Today's Society

Published: May 5, 2022, 6 p.m.

We complain about long movies. We complain about television shows that post only once a week. We complain about long work days and never getting enough sleep. Why are food and gas prices so high and our nations leaders act as if they truly don't care? I spoke with a friend yesterday about writing out what you are grateful for. He does it every night before bed. No! The multiple layers of moods and mindsets we wade through happen all day long! When an unexpected low hits your heart locate gratefulness. Tame the beast. Nothing weakens my soul quicker than someone saying, "I've got nothing to be happy about." Really? Have you stepped into the headlines lately? There's a metal plant in Ukraine that's been bombed seven days straight. How lucky and grateful are you that life doesn't have you planted in that soil? Let us all unite as a generation of peace and awareness. Be grateful.
