Hardships do not discriminate

Whether you are rich or poor, old or young or sometimes even a good person or bad person, hardships in life - cancer, divorce, financial difficulty, accidents, etc - do not discriminate. It hits every one of us.

Even us here in the United States, which is suppose to be the land of opportunity, are being hit by hard economic times. The citizens of the United States at this moment are unemployed, pinching pennies and losing their homes! (In California, each month, there are 13,000 foreclosures.)

Times like these are inevitable; it can't be good and perfect all the time. During these times, we shall still find it in ourselves to smile, to laugh and to find & be thankful for the good that remains in life.

I know times are hard these days, but let's be thankful for what we have for this Thanksgiving 2008! And let's hang in there!

"The happiest people don't have it all; they just make the best of what they have."




For fun:
