How do we relate...

I was thinking this weekend after I heard the song "This Ain't Nothin'" by Craig Morgan. If you have not heard the song, it is all about how an older gentleman is faced with a natural disaster & a camera crew puts a camera in his face and wants to know how ever will he go on. But, what they did not realize is how much the man had already gone through in his life and that this does not even compare with the disasters that have happened to him all through his life.

So, I came to the realization a long time ago when I was working as a camp counselor that all of us relate in some way. Whether it is with how many siblings we have, whether our parents are divorced, or we live/work in a particular area. But, some times this thought is lost and we need to get it back so we can really relate to the people in our lives. They may only be in your life for a short time, but you never know what kind of impact they may make on your life. I know that I am a better person for knowing the young and older generations. I have worked a lot with the younger generation, and now am going in the opposite direction through schooling. And I am taking these thoughts in with me so I can get the most out of the experience, as I believe that everyone should.

I hope you can listen to the song at some point and really appreciate how much our lives are changed and shaped by the events that occur, and how much another person can learn from another's experiences.
