n“Thengrass is always greener on the other side of the fence” is an oldnsaying that means that we often think that others people’s lives arenhappier, simpler, better, but that’s because we only see the outsidenof their houses or their for-company parlors, their public behavior,nand their “this is what I share with others” Facebook statusnupdates…and all of that paints a rosy picture. But, the sayingnhints, if we were actually over there, on the other side of thenfence, we would see the problems. The weeds in the grass, the dirtnand cobwebs in the house, the tempers and aches and downs and doubtsnin the life.

nSo…whatndoes “The grass is always browner on the other side of the fence”nmean?
n
n
n
n
n
nThatnthe speaker is luckier than everyone else? Happier? Richer? Morenloved? Better in some way?
n
n
n
n
n
nApparently,nthe day is set aside to urge us to be grateful for what we have, andnof course, that’s a good thing. I just think that the turn-around onnthe saying doesn’t work very well!

n
n

So…gonforth and be grateful!

n

n
n
nItncan help people really think about things if you take a familiarnsaying and give it a different twist. Be inspired by these examplesnand come up with a few of your own…
