You Get Out of It What You Put Into It

Long House, Mesa Verde Nat. Park

When it's too hot to paint the house or mow the lawn, I just stay inside. I watch TV or take a nap.

The people who lived in this place, Mesa Verde, didn't have that choice. They had to spend every minute of their lives just earning that life.

They had to search for water for their crops and food for their families. All I have to do is turn on the faucet or open the refrigerator. Somehow the water and food magically is always in there.

Did they respect that life more than I do because of all of the work they put into it? Did they cherish every and any moment they had?

I need to look at things differently.
