Makes Me Think - Today, my dad got laid-off from his job of 30 years. When he picked me up at the airport this evening, I asked him how he was coping. He said, "I have a loving wife, a daughter who just got home from college, and a son and daughter in-law who have my first grandchild on the way. I couldn't be happier! A job I can find anywhere."

I wish my dad has this attitude towards life! That's terrific! He lost his job almost a year ago, and it makes me sad that he focuses on what he doesn't have, and doesn't bother to realize what's infront of him!
