Yes, we are going through some hard times, but its not as though this country has never weathered a tough storm.
We have bounced back from wars, past recessions, massive weather chaos and so much more, and we will get through this.
We as a nation are not only resilient and strong, but also creative.
Who Is The Recession Really Hurting? Ok, so the banks are pulling their welcome matts and shutting the doors on families as well as entrepreneurs and business owners when it comes to loans and re-financing to keep themselves afloat.
The oil companies are gouging the American people at the gas pumps, and the mortgage crisis is costing many their homes.
I know, it seems like wherever you turn there's something else brewing in the background thats about to get burned, and those who were already struggling are falling off the map and disparately need our help.
Of course those will better pull, bigger bank accounts and corporation executives are not feeling the choke like us regular folk.
The only worries they have are whether or not to vacation on their yachts or rent a cottage.
I am praying for us all, but I refuse to allow this time to take away from my own happiness.
What Can You Do Until Things Get Back To Normal? Keep dreaming, keep pushing towards your goals and keep living.
While some might want to run home, while they still have one, and jump under the sheets and pretend nothing is wrong.
We REALISTS know that this too shall pass, so why add on to the stress? The End Result The media and other outlets will continue to say this or that, and really that's their job.
To scare you into paying attention to what they have to say, what they want you to believe, what they believe you need to hear.
If it's all the same, I think I catch some sports on the tube.
Remember, it's only as bad as you make it.
