One man's loss is another man's gain...

So last week I was pretty burnt from work. I guess it really wasn't too bad, but I had just come back from the honeymoon and wanted to stay in that state of mind. On Friday I moaned and complained to myself about how I wanted a 3 day weekend and I wished that I didn't have to come to work on Monday and that I could move to The Caribbean and do nothing, Etc. I'm sure we all have had these thoughts, especially the one about moving to the Caribbean, but yesterday my perspective changed a bit. I was at church at my new ward in Glendale and the guys took turns going around and introducing themselves and telling us a little bit about them. About half of them stood up stated their names and ended by saying "And if you know anyone who is hiring please let me know..." I was pretty overwhelmed by how many people who were out of work. There was even one guy who stood up holding a baby and said "I will take anything I can get right now..." It was quite an eye opener for me. I hate to say it, but it seems that it takes a room full of unemployed people to make me realize how lucky I am to have a job at all. I should be grateful that in today's economic climate that I am employed and able to provide for myself and wife. I will definitely think twice before I dread coming to work on a Monday...
