Counting My Blessings

I've complained recently about not getting a bonus I was counting on and therefore I'm not able to finish my basement. While I'm still disappointed, I had quite a reality check as a result of a story I heard this week. It was a tale of of a 90 year old man, who had to return to work in a 'big box store', because he lost his once sizable retirement (virtually all of it) in the Madoff Ponzi scheme. Folks, that rips. And it certainly puts my little setback into perspective.

Lessons learned: Diversify. Nothing is certain in this life. Stop whining.
