I would say not to take your schedule for granted. I was on top of the world flight instructing in the summertime, with 80 hours or so a month. Now I'm lucky to fly 5 hours a week! I live in a much more seasonal climate, as opposed to AZ, which stays sunny all year.

Be thankful that you're staying busy and building flight time. Just the way I should be thankful that I even have a CFI job even if its not getting me as much flight time as I'd like.

Basically, there is always going to be someone envious of what you do, so be appreciative that someone would like your job. Could be a fresh CFI unable to find work, or maybe a burnt-out, furloughed regional pilot wishing to teach again. Or perhaps me, since I would die for more students.
