Mowing Grass---Priceless
DO WE TAKE THE LITTLE THINGS FOR GRANTED??

I hope the picture will go through for you - of this Army soldier in Iraq withhis tiny 'plot' of grass in front of his tent.It's heartwarming!Here is a soldier stationed in Iraq , stationed in a big sand box. He asked hiswife to send him dirt ( U.S. soil), fertilizer, and some grass seed so that he can have the sweet aroma, and feel the grass grow beneath his feet When the men of the squadron have a mission that they are going on, they take turns walking through the grass and the American soil -- to bring them good luck.

If you notice, he is even cutting the grass with a pair of a scissors. Sometimes we are in such a hurry that we don't stop and think about the little things that we take for granted.
