Recession Proof

Over the past generation or two, we Americans have become very used to having money in our pockets. Year after year we've never had to THINK to achieve. Trapped in a pattern of indulgent practices, we may have forgotten how to actually deal with problems.

By opening our minds, we can think our way out of just about anything. Talking problems through with knowledgeable friends, researching options, relaxing our rigid ideas of what we should be, do and have.

If we focus on the possibilities, we can let the adversity of this recession be our teacher and inspiration for positive change. Things we thought we needed are not now necessities. What is really important rises like multicolored balloons..our family and friends, the environment, charity. Simple. Why didn't we think of it?
