Stop Taking Things For Granted

I love bird houses, birdfeeders, and hummingbirds around
me all the time,especially at this time of the year. It
reminds of the days I use to be out in the country in Mounds,
Arkansas around my grandma and grandpa's house. Early in
the morning and late in the evening I could always hear the
birds chirp and the locust doing their sounds. I love that
noise. I had much rather hear that noise than an ole Wal-mart
truck rolling down the road or cars flying by. It was very
seldom anyone ever saw a car come by back in those days
much less a big time 16 wheeler rolling along. I can't say
it was quiet, but I can say it was pleasant. Well as kids
we did things that if I had it to do over again I would not
do. Like for instance, there were many birds we tried
shooting them with a bb gun. We killed a few, but not enough
to matter because there was thousands of them up in thoseold oak trees.
Boy, were those oak trees huge looking to me.
Well, I think they probably still stand today and they would
look huge even now.But now, I try to duplicate the feeling of
the nature that I took for granted during those days. It's not
the easiest thing to do you know,bring back nature. We need to
cherish it more than what we do at times. We need stop
taking for granted things that were in our past that made
things so pleasant.
I just had to say this for some reason. Maybe you have taken something for granted in your life time.
