Hey All! Hey Kathy and Raven!! :-)
IMHO - Any communiction of any kind that begins with such black-and-white statements of "You ought to" is going to get a negative reaction from everyone else. It sounds like a lecture.
LOL! I am remembering when mom would put a jar of beets out at the dinner table and dish some onto each of our plates. Yuch!!!
First of all, beets are evil and should be blasted from the earth with laser beams!! LOL!!
I'd sit there scowling at the evil beets and mom would say "Eat your beets! You ought to be grateful you have them!! There are people out there who'd give their right arm for those beets!"
I can distinctly remembering wanting to say, "If I give them one of my arms can I not eat these beets?" Of course I didn't have the guts to say that. One thing you don't want to do is incur the wrath of a just-off-the-boat British woman. Take my word for it.
As for gratitude, I am grateful for my life and for the people who color my world. But if others don't want to be that way, well.......their loss in my book.
Hugs to everybody!!! :-)
