Book Review

Currently I am reading the book "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom, it's interesting to find out more about the plot check it out at B&N.com (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/five-people-you-meet-in-heaven-mitch-albom/1100317405?ean=9781401308582).  

Right now I am at the 3rd person you meet in heaven; but it was the 2nd persons message that struck me. 

The lesson was about sacrifice and an example given was a mom who sacrifices her time by working to put her child through college. I started thinking as a working mom I get comments from people about how I should be staying at home but the fact is that's not in the deck of cards for us at the moment. So instead of feeling down and gloomy about dropping baby boy with his Grandma everyday, I need to look at this time as a sacrifice that I must make to work to truly take care of the needs of my baby boy.

Once I started looking at it that way things started looking up for me.
