Reality Check

So although I don't have much myself, I saw this family on the side of the road today. Husband, Wife, 2 daughters, and little boy. Good looking family healthy, but they are obviously down on there luck. They had bags packed and even a lamp. This beat up old truck stops to give them something, I slow down and without a dime in my pocket watch this S Class Benz pissed off swerve around the guy in the truck almost hit me and take off down the road.

Now I say we all take a moment and reflect and be thankful to be where we are in this economy. I for one have been laid off, currently un-employed with the job market as tough as it is, it is only going to get harder. But I have a loving family and roof over my head. And by the way it is raining out where I am. Very sad to see.

Just had to say that. Very sad now to see that.


Thanks,

Brandon

word.

We all lack perspective and, far too often, take too little time for self-reflection.

Word. We seriously complain about so much without even taking a second to realize how many people would dream to be in our positions. If you have a roof over your head, clothes on your back, and a meal today, you're already richer than 2/3 of the world.

Never take anything for granted. Cherish what you got and that's the bottom line!
