Tanking with the Economy
By Keith | June 21, 2008
2 things that have happened make me wonder about the priorities in our lives. Gas prices are through the roof and Tim Russert has died at the age of 58.
Jon Gilson has once again put this crunch into perspective for us. Read on and realize that your world is better when you are fit.
“You’re working harder and looking for things to cut out of the budget, taking big swinging hacks at the checkbook to free up devalued dollars. Lattes are gone, your Friday night dinner date has gone the way of the Caribbean monk seal, and your gym membership is next on the chopping block.
Eighty, a hundred, two hundred dollars a month, back in your pocket in one fell swoop, dedicated to more important things like filling the tank, clothing the kids, and keeping the mortgage out of default. Here’s the problem—Tim Russert is dead.
The tanking economy is irrelevant when you’re pushing daisies. Without properly functioning organs, your idea-rich brain has all the utility of a table lamp during a blackout. When your body crumbles, everything else takes a back seat. When the bills start mounting and your work consumes you, take a minute to remember this basic fact: without your health, you are nothing. ”
Thanks Jon for remembering….
