Very warm wishes for a Happy New Year, to us all. May we all learn from the present economic situation... Perhaps learn to [really] notice the difference between our 'wants' and our 'needs.' Yeah, that sounds mighty 'bahhh humbug.' Yup, it does. But instead of seeing the 'bahh humbug' aspect of it, maybe we can try to see the 'silver lining' aspect of it. [More 'Pollyanna' stuff I know... -sigh- So... bite me! -grin-]
We're living through a recession and no magic wands or wishful thinking, will change that. So, how do we live through the inevitable? With what mind set do we choose, to live through it? [Yes, our own mind set is still under our own control.] Do we choose to whine and cry and moan? Does that do any good? Nope. That choice only makes us feel worse.
So, what's the alternative?
How about what I said above... Really note our 'wants' and our 'needs.' Put 'wants' aside for the time being, and concentrate on getting our 'needs.' And then, learn to be content with that.
OK, if you want to scream at me now, you can. >,-)

Happy New Year!
I know what you're saying...and I'm going to try that myself, even though I really, really, really want a new DVD/VCR player.
Beautiful photo.
If you really, really, really want a new DVD/VCR player, it sounds like that's moved over... From being a 'want,' to being a 'need.' :-)
