I like your post. The window seat an...Hi Deborah:<br /><br />I like your post. The window seat and the whole concept that goes with it is interesting. When I was growing up I had to fight for the window seat, the front seat etc and didn't usually win. Then I grew up and had children, window seats went to them. When I would fly alone, I would request the window seat, more than anything because I Could have it. Now it just doesn't matter anymore. Through the years I've grown comfortable in my own skin, lost my hangups and have learned what is really important. <br /><br />Okay, so maybe I see deeper into this than it's meant to be. Bottom line, I've always like window seats because of how much I could see and having the need to see. Now I've learned that I like aisle seats, from which I can see enough, but still get up and move around more easily!Kimlybhttp://carelink-the-spirit-in-me.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-41070406485537254042011-06-29T08:58:37.407+05:302011-06-29T08:58:37.407+05:30it's even more difficult when three children d...it's even more difficult when three children demand the drumsticks at Thanksgiving time.

We conform to certain things because it is not worth it putting up a fight for it. There is so much more to fight for than having a drumstick.

Even while driving I cannot hep but look to my left and even to my right, always searching for that road traveled less. <br /><br />As to giving up my seat to a child would be difficult, so I would opt to share and then the experience could become a treasured experience for both as I could point out similarities and differences as we both look out at the scenery; but giving it up would be very hard as I am a visual vacuum.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />EgmontFour Seasons in a Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515078635782464939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-68582741411001998092011-06-28T21:09:13.350+05:302011-06-28T21:09:13.350+05:30Yuvika:
