Our Economy Crisis & Hope

So as all of us know at this point, our world is facing hard times in the area of money. This is not new for America or the rest of the world. It is new for our generation to see a collapse to this degree but as true as it is, people have suffered much more than we have seen.

So rather than just state the depressing facts, I want to encourage people around me in this tough time. Its not ALL bad. Really, its not. The truth for most is that, yes, we have to sacrifice some or a lot. For some its more than that. Its really, really hard. But, we will get through this. I mean, what is this all about anyways? Our possessions aren't really what makes us who we are, or are they? I think that's for you to determine. In the last few months, I'd say its been refreshing to see how honest people have become. I see real character in everyone's fear. We all have no idea whats going to happen after this election, and the wall street bail out. We have no idea even if the world was raining money. We never know what tomorrow may bring, if tomorrow should come. So why worry when its pretty much out of our control anyway?

So my message of Hope...LIVE, TODAY!! Seriously, Today maybe it or it may be yet another day, but enjoy it! Its beautiful! Think of what you have and love. Think of who you would never want to be with out and call them. Think of who you hope to be and make it happen! Think of all the reasons why today is a blessing we take for granted. Today, with all our troubles, isn't so bad. I can testify that I have NEVER seen BAD. I mean, real.. BAD. I have had such an amazing opportunity to be born in this day and age with this mind and all the possibilities this world has to offer. Don't get me wrong, life hasn't been all cherries, but its what I make it! Yes, money is very tight right now, but am I going to let that be the reason I don't enjoy my fall this year...NO!! I want to live it up. I'm 26 in fairly good health and I have so much to do with this life. I'm starting here. This is just the beginning. Not the end of me.

So to you, have hope!! There will be brighter days ahead and today maybe one of them. Cherish what you have in this moment. Believe me, once its taken away you'll have wished you did! Lets be creative with this time to enjoy our family, friends, pets, nature, God, and whatever else.

Peace and Hope to you!
