clothes maybe a proper lunch every day  instead of just a sandwich but when I see  
11
105600
8800
01:54
you coming home with the smile it reminds me  that happiness doesn't come from what we have  
12
114400
9680
02:04
but from what we do with what we have that's  true that sometimes I look at my friends and  
13
124080
9160
02:13
see how they have everything I mean new shoes  the latest gadgets even money to buy lunch every
14
133240

03:02
paper that was one of the best Christmas I've ever  had we laugh so much and the tree was beautiful  
19
182320
11080
03:13
in its own way it's those memories that make me  realize how rich we are in the ways that really
20
193400
9840
03:23
matter yeah that was fun and  even though we couldn't afford
21
203240
9040
03:32
presents the time we spent  together was the best gift

23
219480
2520
03:42

29
271280
9200
04:40
that you know that sometimes I wonder  what it could be like if things were
30
280480
10120
04:50
different if we had more money if I didn't  have to work at the store if uh you didn't  
31
290600
9240
04:59
have to work so hard every  day but then I think about  
32
299840
5080
05:04
how much I've learned from the way we  live I've learned the value of hard
33
304920
5200
05:10
work of being grateful for what we have  and of finding happiness in the little
