Keep Texas Beautiful!

Hey y'all! This post has nothing to do with our camper revamp, but I really felt the need to let this all out! As a child, my parents instilled in me a want to fulfill acts of servitude, selflessness, and service. On the road, we've been in quite a few "trailer hoods". I struggle with the fact that I always feel like park owners can do more than just collect rent. We live in these parks. We call them home for the time being. My theory is, "just because we live in a trailer park doesn't make us trashy." Until lately. I have felt like we come off as trashy. Not because our space isn't clean and picked up and organized, or because of the west Texas rock and dust. I've felt trashy because the park is, in the truest form, "trashy". There was trash all over the front of the park. We have a large field that we can walk our dogs in, play in, or do activities in, but it has been covered with trash. I just couldn't take it anymore. The past few days I have felt the need to pick it up. So I have walked out there, a trash bag a day, and picked up trash. Not for recognition or payment, just for the satisfaction that kids won't get cut by glass bottles, my dogs won't step on a sharp piece of plastic, or for simply having to look at all the beer cans. If I had a weed eater, I'd cut the grass too. I understand that it is just business. However, shouldn't you want to make your tenants feel appreciated by keeping up the grounds? Maybe it's in my raisin' or beliefs, but I feel like we can all do our part a little more often. Whether it's picking up trash, not throwing your trash out, or performing and little act of servitude, it all helps and makes the world a better place, even if it only is noticed by you. So get out, get off your hineys, and help keep Texas beautiful! 

Rant over:) 

Peace, Love, and the Pipeline Life
