I’ve noticed some silver lining in the current economic situation. More than one newspaper (like this San Francisco Chronicle article) or blog site I have read in the last week has reported that people who have lost their jobs are doing something about it - they are giving of their time to help others. How easy it would be for some to want to play the “poor me” card or have a daily pity party after losing their job. What a great thing it would if  those without work would find time to make a difference in their communities while waiting for work. Not a bad idea for those who have a job either.
