Is the grass always greener on the other side? Have you ever watched Trading Spouses? Different but interesting show. I personally could not do this even if it is for $50,000.00. We all seem to think other people have it better than we do but really do they. It may look like it from the outside but what is it like from the inside of their lives? I know people that seem to have more money than god but yet they are so far in debt. Some people seem to be able to travel and go everywhere they want but can they afford it? Then you see people with no money, home, clean clothing and yet they seem happier than some. Are they happy this way is it a front they put on. Or were they once richer than they are and lost a job, gambled away their life? I live in a nice house, to me, and my bills get paid but there are many things we need to improve our house and life. Should we get all bent out of shape because we can not afford it now or maybe never or do we do the best we can with what we have. If we get everything we want in life then where would we get things to dream of having or wanting. Would we even have dreams anymore. What is important to some people is not important to others. Some people want riches and monetary things. Other people are happy with having a healthy loving family. Do I wish for better things? Yes it is only natural. Do I want to win a $100,000.00 on Deal or No Deal. Yes and No. With more money comes more bill and problems. Without it you can not pay off bills you would like to or give special things to loved ones. I feel my life is greener just by having my loved ones in my life or having known some of my loved ones a short time. A short time by them loved ones gave me terrific memories of a life time that I would not trade for anything. And as for my loved ones still here creating memories with them is priceless. So I am content in my life rich or poor for just having people to love and be loved by.
Ok I hurt my back at work and had to come home from work yesterday and ended up in the ER last night. Not fun the grass her could be greener. LOL

I hope your back is feeling better soon. John hurt his back and I even had to dress him. (((HUGS)))
All I can say is that I had been looking for the greener grass for years when I had been standing on it and just didn't see. You did a nice job explaining this!
It usually takes all of a while to realize we are standing on it, even if it has a few weeds in it. Whats life without a few weeds or flowers (danelions from the kids)? My back is doing better thank you. Tomorrow is a normal day off for me so another day of rest and I should be good to go. Hugs to all three of you.
