Work: a small four letter word which could come in the form of a noun, or perhaps a verb, depending on how it may be utilized. With unemployment at a high level and climbing at what seems to be a steady pace, work becomes a valued commodity. Many people who have been employed for many years are falling upon hard times as victims of downsizing companies; a direct result of a riddled economy. Bearing this in mind, I'm reminded that I too, as well as many fellow workers have been involuntarily tossed into this mix. Considering all of the unemployed, we should be thankful that we have jobs.
The frightening thing is the old adage that history repeats itself, hopefully this won't apply to our current dilemma. Perhaps this could develop itself into a rebirth of some kind where we learn to slow down and appreciate what we have and discover living within our means. Credit put us in this mess, with bankers loaning out money that didn't exist to people who couldn't afford to pay it back! The stimulus package scares me, considering the fact that I will never live long enough to see it disappear, we can only hope that our children and their children can finally get it right.
