farmers vs. city dwellers

"The biggest difference I can see is that city people always think that this year has got to be better than last year. If they don't get a raise, acquire something new, or find themselves somehow better off, they think they're failures. Farm folks look at things a bit differently. We know there are going to be good years and bad years. We can't control the weather. We can't prevent a bad crop. We can't control sickness. So you learn just to work hard and make up your mind to take what comes."


thankful for these emails from my mom. thankful that she knows the difference between thriftiness and stinginess and that she has enough faith to invest in things that matter.

also thankful for finding my bike keys ($40) and monitor key ($40), THANK GOD. now I just have to make sure my bike doesn't get stolen.
