I shared this with my students: Driving home yesterday, Dec. 1st, I realized that I forgot to pick up my paycheck. I was momentarily upset at myself for being forgetful. But I soon realized how lucky I am. For one, I didn't need the check that day. Not that I'm independently weathy, but I can make ends meet without that check for at least a little while. More importantly, getting paid wasn't the reason I went to "work" yesterday. I almost never look forward to the 1st for the sole reason to get paid. I told the kids about the cliche: "If you like your job, you'll never have to work again."
