Tuesdays with Royal

We gave a friend a ride to Lincoln last night, it is about a 45 minute drive one way.  We tried 4 times to find a gas station so I could gas up and use the restroom between Gretna and Lincoln, but they were all closed.  I was a bit surprised and a bit alarmed.  I knew where I could go if I REALLY needed to, but was hoping for something along the route I was taking.

Then I thought of our economy, although the mid-west has been shielded a bit more than coastal and surrounding states, we too have been hit by the tough times of the current climate.  Smaller shops can no longer afford to pay for that over night attended which may or may not have made enough money to cover costs, let alone that persons salary.

Times are changing, and we too must change with them.  How we work and where we work have changed too!  A great man once said that “The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.”  Steve Jobs knew too that it those words could be easier said than done.  When out of work or under employed, it can be more difficult (NOT IMPOSSIBLE) to achieve and believe.

I also know that you may not get what you want when you want it.  You will get what you need when you need it, those words ring so true in my life.  With a great many lessons under my belt, and many more to go (I am sure) I am happy for my life, my experiences and for all those who I have crossed paths with.

Happy Tuesday everyone, enjoy a day that is as beautiful as you are!
