Buck up America

We’re all in trouble. Life is hitting us hard from recessions, foreclosures, layoffs and debt, t0 MERSA, Cancer, and every other horrible thing imaginable. The artic shelf is melting, our Earth is getting warmer, Iran is continualy posing problems, North Korea is acting menacing, Israel and Palestine are prepping to start WW3…where’s the positive here?

Yesterday I had a meeting – five people, just talking about life, and it was the most eye opening experience I’ve had in a long time.  I think sometimes it’s so hard to forget the humanity in life. We’re all wrapped up in survival mode. Can I pay rent this week, will I lose my job, how can I prove myself? But in essence we’re all the same. I know, no real revelation here but sometimes it’s so easy to get wrapped up in the negative.

I spoke with a financial analyst the other day – a reputable one believe it on not, and he said this recession is dependent on attitudes.  Not to quote McCain’s very “tactful” economic advisor but I think it might be a great idea if we all invested in a little St. John’s Wort and jumped forward. Today I read – No man can be considered a failure if he’s happy. I kind of agree with that. I realize we’ve all been beaten down, ego’s brusied, nerves shot – but maybe this President might actually make a positive difference, and, aside from a few blips here and there, we’ll actually get back on our feet.

But hey, what do I know?
