Depressing Economy

These days I don't enjoy watching the news. Not to say that I ever really enjoyed watching the news, I typically turn it on to watch what the weather is going to be like. But living in the midwest, even these days I don't want to turn it on for that very reason since it has been snowing or had the threat of snow for the past couple of days. It is supposed to be SPRING! Where is the spring weather?


Otherwise, my husband works for AT&T and anyday now they will strike and walk off their job. They are currently working without a contract and the Union and AT&T can't seem to come to an agreement. In this economy I am greatful that he even has a job, while so many people do not have a job. But it is depressing to turn on the news and hear that the NASDAQ is down and the stock market is losing money and people's life savings are going down the drain. How did things get this bad?


Meanwhile we are trying to take one day at a time and be thankful for the things that we have: a roof over our head, food in our bellies and the love of each other to keep us warm at night.
