Come Sail Away

It amazes me how bad people are feeling. Every day I hear another recession related incident of violence and abuse. How the former haves are lamenting their fall from prosperity and the have nots are angry at the squandering of their promised future. People are living with the fear that tomorrow may bring an end to their bubble and turn them into that growing segment of potential soup line candidates.

All of this fear and panic is fueling an ever growing level of fear and panic. The stock market has erased all of the gains of the last 12 years. My house is worth less than I owe on it and I have been making payments for 5 years. I look at all of the new car deals and cannot see replacing my 6 year vehicle in the near future. Is it possible that things can get any better?

My roof does not leak. I have my health and my family is enjoying three hots and a cot. It is easy to have a good outlook when you are employed and not fearful for your health and livelihood. Instead of worrying about what tomorrow will bring, escape to tomorrow. Focusing on today and all of the garbage that seems to be the only topic our media can convey will only bring you down.

I thought that they were angels but much to my surprise
I climbed aboard their star ship and headed for the skies.
