Lesson 4 – December 28: Appreciate Familiar Places

I am thinking about attending college in Chicago. While the idea of a new city excites me, I worry about not having a familiar place to fall back on if things get rough. Subsequently, my appreciation for Shawnee has grown greatly. There are places in this town that house great food, great people, great memories. It will be difficult to move on if I choose to go so far. 

I think we should try to appreciate what’s around us a bit more. You never know how long you’ll be somewhere until you’ve moved on. Find beauty in Shawnee, Kansas. There is definitely something to appreciate about this town.
