Observations

There's nothing like bad cough to make you appreciate
sleeping through the night.

There's nothing like camping in 20-something degree weather to make you appreciate a warm, soft bed (indoors!!).

There's nothing like a year of drought to make you appreciate
a rainstorm.

There's nothing like a few days of rain
to make you appreciate
the sun and blue sky.

There's nothing like being sick for a few weeks to make you appreciate feeling healthy.

There's nothing like teaching hammered dulcimer
to make you appreciate
a regular weekly paycheck!

There's nothing like fast food to make you appreciate a home cooked meal.

There's nothing like walking through the valley
to make you appreciate
the moments on the mountain top.
