I fully agree that we had the best of both worlds and balance.
I grew up free to play outdoors in nature, which helped me to develop a creative mind.
Kids these days get depressed so easily and find it easier to depend on medication to make them feel better about the world. It is frightening and makes you wonder what it will be like in the next twenty years in the work environment...what will people's coping mechanisms be, when facing adulthood.
I am always intrigued when you speak of growing up on vast acres of land. That I would find as a real simple perk of life.🙏😁
