Hard times...

All around the world hard times, are a way of life...Yet in America we don't expect to be hit by recessions, housing market troubles, lost mortgages, declines...etc. Arrogance abounds that we could grow continually with no trouble, that we could have more, do more, eat more and give less and survive. This is a reality check, that we are no better than anyone esle, that we can't expect to live in a world of unending blessings. These thoughts cloud my mind, I wonder and question my own values, theories and thoughts. The last year was extremely hard for me, I hardly blogged, I lost clients at work, I have no money and I haven't found another job to fill the gaps. Yet, on the upside I have food to eat, a home to live in, family to support me, all my legs, arms and fingers. Life has treated me well, tragedy is really only something I understand through empathy, proxy and love...to be continued...
