Enough Doom and Gloom…
You guys are great. Really. Thank you to the really gracious, insightful commenters who gave me some food for thought about the maybe-Depression-like future of our economy. I have some responses, but they’re still mulling, and I will post when I have more clarity.
But what I really want to say is that, in light of all I have to be thankful for, it’s about time I posted something happy. Turn on the news if you want to be depressed… Read this post if you don’t.
Reason #1 to feel a little more up: This Video, from Discovery Channel: “I love the whole world” LOVE IT!
Reason #2 to feel optimistic: This recent Reuters article
A clip: “But today’s overall U.S. economic picture is quite different.
‘With just 6 percent unemployment, we are having a debate as to whether we are even in a recession,’ said Richard Sylla, professor of the history of financial institutions and markets at New York University.”
Reason #3 to stop with the whining already: Baking cupcakes last night, topped with cream cheese frosting
Reason #4: Friends, family, relationships
Reason #5: All my needs are provided

Cupcakes make me sad… because right now I’m trying to eat super-healthy and the phantom taste in my mouth has elicited a Pavlovian response
Aw, that’s sad, Randy! It’s good that you’re eating healthy, though. I should join you, I really should…
