Just one look...

You always think that things are bad. Sometimes they are other times all it
take is to take one look and say "There but for the grace of God go I". Its
tax season and as usually I am putting everything I have in to a envelope
and crossing my fingers that I did everything correctly. How well did I do
last year? Could I have made more? Did I need to buy that thing? Sure I
could always use more money. Does that make one happy? Is that the end all
be all of happyness.
Today I coworker came up to me and confessed. He let me know that the
past few times I dropped him off near a Hotel to meet some one he was not
doing that. He and his family are living there. He is working non stop so
they can try to scrape up money for a deposit for an apartment. He asked me
if he could borrow $100 because he was 2 days late on his rent. $42 a day.
$100 stood between his family being warm and being on the streets. I've
know him for the past 3 years I know him not to BS some one. I did not have
the full amount but I bought him some time until a check comes in the mail
for him. His face lit up and he got on the phone to his wife. One more day
averted....
I am having severe doubts in the country. The cost of fuel, the cost of
food, taxes and everything in general is going to start to keep me up at
night. I'm blessed with a good job and steady work. After looking around I
realize that I have nothing to complain about. I hope you all can take one
look around and realize the same thing....... PEACE.
