Joy in the Party

"The joy of living is his who has the heart to demand it." -- Teddy Roosevelt

Life hands us a fair measure of sacrifice on its own. Why impose more upon ourselves by taking the low view of things?

This week I heard someone analyze the four official "generations" currently in the work force -- Traditional (born through 1944), Boomers (1964), Xers (1976), and Yers. On the topic of "work/life balance" Xers and Yers were classified as valuing life more than work. The X/Y's around me nodded our heads. Xers live for today and save for tomorrow. Our energy might run low, but our spirit can always reach higher if we want it strongly enough.
