So it's the day before Thanksgiving and I'm sitting at work with a full shift of responsibility as most of my friends are off work and have gone home to visit their families for the holiday break. I guess I could complain about things but I'll start off this post the right way and say I'm thankful to have a job. Paying attention to the current state of the workforce in Florida and working very closely with a plethora of unemployment compensation claims, I realize that my employment is definitely something to be grateful for. I won't necessarily say I support all the hocus pocus mumbo jumbo regarding the Pilgrims and the Indians and etc. but I will say that the world would be a very sad place if we couldn't take one day out of the year and acknowledge our creator for the marvelous things he has given us and the unique experiences he has allowed us to be apart of. (Go Figure)
Try to really think about all that you have versus all that you may not have. I guarantee life will paint a brighter picture. If you find it difficult to do this independently, take a trip to your local homeless shelter, hospital, and morgue and see if that provides you with a little motivation to pep up and look at the bright side. Yes, life could be worse than what it may already appear. (Just My 2 Cents)
Not to prolong the issue but here's some food for thought. The man that has it all appreciates nothing he has. He probably did not work to get anything he owns and will probably lose it all due to his lack of appreciation and understanding. On the flip side, the man that does not have much but worked for everything he has and values it all will more than likely be provided with an opportunity to have more; however, once he gets it, he'll maintain it because he knows the importance of his blessings.
Have a safe and prosperous Thanksgiving holiday folks and remember to be grateful for whatever you have.
I'm Out...
