You are never promised tomorrow no matter what you do. We had a patient, a big healthy guy from Germany, who died exactly like your friend's wife. A virus attacked his heart and he died within a few days. <BR/>Each healthy day is a blessing.Dixie Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11501418825534384788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13641764.post-56027977842363139242008-12-23T14:10:00.000-05:002008-12-23T14:10:00.000-05:00Oh, such terrible things happen to people... makes...Oh, such terrible things happen to people... makes me so sad...<BR/>Under such circumstances, you're even afraid to be thankful for your good luck...<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the Holidays, Scott, and enjoy your family!

I think I'll post about it.<BR/><BR/>Toni - These kinds of things are a stark reminder of how temporary this all is.<BR/><BR/>JR - Sorry about your friend. I worry about my job all the time, being in that same industry. It seems that for now I'm ok. It's funny though, by now I thought I would have felt the pinch of outsourcing, and although it has affected me in at least one instance, there are jobs still out there to be had. Thanks for the well-wishes, and same back atcha.

His wife was returning a library book. <BR/><BR/>I guess you never know when your time has come. <BR/><BR/>Other bad luck: The jobless rate continues to grow in Michigan. My brother lost his engineering job after 23 years of loyalty.

You have to give a hand to that family - they need all of you now. I know what you mean, though. Reading through your post, I was nodding my head in affirmation, and thinking of all the crap happening here in my neck of the woods. It's all over the place. And that is JUST what it is - crap!!! We all have to thank our lucky stars (and twenty other cliches.) You think you have it rough, or you are down in the dumps - and then you hear of something that makes you ashamed of yourself for thinking that way. Everything IS relative!! Find a few beautiful things that are happening and dwell on those, if you can. I find it helps me when I get down and out about the state of things.K.Lawson Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204234196229710524noreply@blogger.com
