You win second prize in a beauty contest... collect $10.

I have lived here in Denmark for about two months now, and I have come to appreciate many things. Sure they don't have million dollar houses and Hummers. They don't have attics and sheds full of unused possessions. They don't even have Kellogg's Captain Crunch! What they do have though, is a population of people that are kind, helpful, and most of all, humble. They live one of the highest standards of living in the world, without relying on their possessions. They appreciate what they have, and care a great deal about what they have been given.



My favorite saying of the Danish people is,

"Denmark: Where few have too much, and even fewer too little."



I think we have a lot to learn from this place I now call home.
