When I was a teenager I use to spend most of my time playing football (or as the Americans call it soccer) and the rest was in the scouts.
I this fast, digital,virtual world that we are living today , it's amazign that Scouts are still kicking and running. My wonderful mead daughter Roni (her name means Joy, Fun and indeed she is)just left yesterday to a full week which they spent walking with backpacks with all their stuff in, sleep outside, cook their food alone and with no showers.
It’s the same girl that change her cloths twice a day , the one who says that Ramat-Aviv mall is her third house (mother, father…and mall), the one who put make-up and all the rest which I don't really know how you call them. This 15 years old that takes minimum of two showers a day will have to "survive" 5 days without shower, 5 days without her computer and mobile (well she took it but it will probably won't be in use due to battery life), and 5 days without her mother ,father or Tali taking care of her.
I am SO glad she can experience different life than her regular life, SO happy she can see ,you can get along with only two Tees, SO happy that she can appreciate her life and what she has back home, SO happy for her to go through some difficulties and appreciate what she don't have to go through on daily basis. Good luck my dear Roni!!
And back to us………..do we appreciate what we have on a daily basis? or only when we go out of our comfort zones?
