The wisdom of youth

My wonderful son made a very profound statement in his last comment. It's important to remember to live for something higher than ourselves. Tonight I was the recipient of such thinking. It was the annual Christmas party and much to my surprise, Christmas bonus checks were handed out. Although I have received a bonus check every year I have worked at Coral Hills, we were warned last year that that might be the LAST year. I am fully aware that in this economy that took quite a bite out of the profits. To think that the 'powers that be' thought of their employees over what their 'year end' statement would be, well, I'm just overwhelmed!! I do so admire my bosses and am very grateful to work for such a wonderful family. I can't help but think how much fun it will be to try and make someones Christmas a little nicer with the extra money. I do hope that the lessons I've learned from the sort of people I work for, will be well used in my own life.[in truth, I have become quite spoiled in the past few years!] It reminds me of a Christmas party Thad and I attended when I first started working for the Wittwers. I was a little embarrassed by the fact that my clothes were inexpensive and I didn't have a nice watch or any Christmas attire. Tonight, it was Christmas attire, a gold watch, wool coat, diamond necklace--- As I said, really QUITE spoiled. I now realize that I had some wonderful gifts that night that I did not fully appreciate--Thad for instance. So I am committing myself to get my priorities straight--starting today! Love to all. xoxo
