Today I received a reminder of just how fortunate our family has been during such challenging economic times. It came in the form of some friends who were seriously questioning the affordability of one of their kid's activities since dad lost his job; an activity that was going to cost $150.
Some may argue that making smart choices in life get you where you are and not luck. Under normal circumstances, I would have to agree but lately, I have seen too many very smart people who have made very smart choices, lose their jobs - just like that. That being said, a tip of the hat to lady luck because having lumped ourselves in the "smart choices" category for many years, I'm not sure it's enough these days and am going on record (after all, I am a blogger now) as being very thankful that we are both gainfully employed. I hope that all of you out there who are just as smart (and lucky) are thankful too!!
Let's hope that Obama's economic stimulus plan is a step in the right direction in getting our country back on it's feet.
