More wildlife than people in the wide open, unspoiled spaces and places we traipse.

Chasing, then stretching the dollar is one reason the numbers are low.

Not everyone will and some argue it is more survival than living in Maine.

But hunger improves the taste.

Increases the appreciation for what you do have that was worked hard to obtain. And demands respect, care in preserving it.

Because marching out to replace it is not done easily when the bank account is only so fat.

Not so roly poly.

And major chunks of it are already earmarked for this, this and oh yeah, that too. There is a cost to just existing, breathing and keeping the food and water flowing no matter where you are.

But if a depression, stock market crash happened, I sure would rather be in Maine than a concrete jungle.

We would make a game out of the rise to the occasion. To live simpler, more like pioneers and camping out appreciating just the basics.

Stinking thinking it is dubbed.

Despite being waited on hand and foot with hired help to try to improve their life.

All the latest and greatest stuff and round the clock pampered adoration attention is medication for the symptom.

Not the cure.

Because it is not real, not all about others. Do the 180 degrees in thinking, your life outlook. Replace thinking you deserve pampered to instead be challenged. Not get comfortable and to grow, expand, become way way more.
