I understand progress. I understand the need for more buildings. But I grieve for what we lose because of it. Sunrises through trees may one day be only a memory.

Living life with a chronic illness is definitely not easy. But I do my best to push through all the barriers this illness puts in front of me! In my heart and mind, I believe maintaining a positive outlook on all situations in life will carry us through to much better times! I hope you find the information that I provide both helpful and inspirational!

Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.
That would be a major loss, Pam, but I share your concern.

I have to admit though Pam, I could never live in a city, even the tree’s that are there just don’t ‘feel’ right 😦

If this keeps up, one day the only sunrises/sunsets we’ll see will be reflecting off of glass windows or shiny metals of high rises. We shouldn’t be destroying our natural beauty, we should have learned by now how to co-exist with it to benefit the world.
We let abandoned buildings rot and cave in instead of repurposing them early on. Makes no sense to me. They’re already here, why not use them again instead of destroying more land/trees/wildlife putting up a new building?

That is so true Pam. My own house is not a new one having stood here for nearly 400 years. The trees that line most of the streets in France were planted by Napolean’s troops. There are new builds around but they do not suit me.
