Staying tough

As people around the nation are experiencing huge loss in this market we can watch but a person really doesn't know how it feels until it happens to them. Some companies are pro-active and make the necessary cost cuts while others just pray and don't change a thing ending with layoffs. In the last week the cross hairs that have come across so many fell upon us, but thank goodness our income comes from one of those pro-active companies so everyone still has a job. That is the joy of working for a smart company that cares so much for it's employees. Each person isn't a number they have a name and their families matter too. I have to admit we went through a few stages before we came down to reality (anger, sadness, and self pitty). We are so very fortunate for everything we have. We are all healthy, happy, and life continues to be good. As long as we have each other everything will be wonderful. Unlike so many we are hoping that oil and gas prices recover instead of continuing to drop. All a person can do is hope and we have a whole lot of that. Now I must get back to playing with the boys.... I think Matchbox cars and Lego's are on the list for this morning. Have a great week everyone..................................
