This is such an important and lovely post. Gratitude and being content with what you have is what I am always working on as well and trying to nurture it in my son too. I have been through all the times you mentioned and that has taught me to save everything and be thankful for even a drop of water and a grain of rice. You brought back memories of my childhood with this post. Great work. Upvoted it 100%, will be resteeming it and adding it in my curation post today.
