Time to Count Our Blessings

With the Economy in the tank, 401K's loosing 50% of their value, Chrysler about to declare Bankruptcy, Car Dealers around the country quickly following, Companies like U.S. Steel idleing 3 plants, People losing 1 or 2 of their incomes in their family, it is very easy to get down. Having lost my job on multiple occassions for different reasons, I can relate.

You start in denial and run up credit card debts knowing that next job is right around the corner. After maxing your credit cards, you take the second or third mortgage on your house and start trying to spend less. In the mean time, you start regretting not taking those jobs that were 50% of your old job, but at least meant there was income coming in instead of only expenses going out.

But it is Christmas time. We need to focus on what is good in our lives for at least this month. There is an old saying, God only gives us what he knows we can handle. I just wish he did not have this much respect for me.

If you have no money, then please go volunteer some where. Most organizations this time of year need money, but if you can at least offer your time. Helping someone else that may be in worse shape than you will give you a better perspective on life. If you have a little extra, then give both your time and funds. There is no greater feeling in the world than the feeling that you made a difference in someone else's life.

Have a great Holiday Season.
