Appreciate All You Got

Growing up we take alot of things our lives have to offer for granted. Whether it be the people who so willingly love us unconditionally, clothes we wear, or the roofs over our heads..That's why we have to take the time to really appreciate what we are given. Lessons like these are  something I learned when reading books by Dr.Seus or Shel Silverstein. One I recall the most is "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein. That book always stuck in my mind because of its message. The book talked about a young boy and his tree friend who gave him everything he ever wanted and needed to the day he was old and the tree was nothing but a stump. In the end the tree thought it had nothing else to offer the boy but it did cause all the boy wanted now was a place to sit. This book shows that you really must appreciate those people in your life who are willing to give you all you want and need but don't take advantage of them cause eventually you might lose them.

A beggining, middle and an end...

Whenever I go to the book store, the local library, just anywhere with books I can't help but stop and think on those very pages is a story waiting to be read, one with a beginning, middle, and an end. Someone's very thoughts, ideas, and feelings poured out onto those same pages for someone, anyone to read. But when that someone does read those pages they can become lost in another world in itself. They find themselves immersed in the everday lives of the characters, feeling as almost as if they're right there with them. But  when they stop reading they find themselves coming back to reality. That is why there are those who want to live the  fairytale life with the happily ever after ending Cinderella has, and the imaginary world of wizards, and witches such as in Harry Potter. Sometimes there lives seem much better than our realities and in a way our lives are like a book. We have a beginning, middle, and an end. And like in books we want to skip to the end, past the bad parts, but just like books its better just to wait and see what's in store. So why skip?
