When I watch news and see all the traffic jams or go shopping and there are loud noises everywhere I really feel grateful for living in a quieter environment although it's somewhat isolated. Being able to enjoy the peaceful surroundings where I live makes it easy for me to accept living in a more remoted part of the country.

What are you taking for granted in your environment that you can be thankful for?

Hi, Peace,

What are you taking for granted in your environment that you can be thankful for? For the past year, my neighbor on the other side of the duplex, didn't live in his apartment. Nobody knows what was going on with him, but he has been the perfect neighbor because he didn't sleep here. He was here for maybe 15 minutes every other week. That part of living here has been great.

I could imagine that it almost felt you're the only person living there!

I have tried not to take water for granted, but now that our community is in a drought, I realize how much I do. Working now to make sure I don't let it run down the drain needlessly. I use water left over in water bottles to give the plants a drink rather than pouring it out. Hoping and praying for rain before more drastic measures hit our community. Already our ability to do some things outdoors is limited.

Good idea to save as much water as possible to keep the plants alive! Hope the situation will improve soon.

@amiablePeace77. The only thing I don’t like about my city is the heavy traffic. Other than that there are a lot of good things here. I especially like having access to many hospitals and medical centers here. Also there are activity centers for adults over 50 here. I appreciate that also.

City traffic can be tough for sure but there are definitively some great benefits living in the city!

We always have enough water and usually electricity and there is always food in the supermarkets.

Having enough water, electricity and food contributes to feeling safe and comfortable.

@WharfRat

I read that Lake Michigan has long beeches and that people offer recreational activities, seems this lake is a true blessing.

Not having to buy water but being able to get clean water from the tap is a huge benefit!
