Merry Christmas? Do the best you can!
I know, it is depressing to hear the news about how awful things are right now. Today they announced 586,000 filing Jobless claims for the week and that many aren't shopping. But come on, there is more to Christmas than worrying about the future. How about being in the moment and being grateful for the blessings we have had this year. Let me recount some of those things to be happy about this Christmas.
First, we are alive and enjoying being able to just breathe. If you don't consider that a blessing try living without it. Most likely you you have a house to live in or an apartment and aren't reading this from a homeless shelter, nor are you homeless. You also must have a computer unless you are reading this from your local library computer. Now for the more existential blessings.
This is the last Christmas we have to have George Bush as President and Dick Cheney as Vice President. Those bad days end in only 27 days. That will end listening to a President who uses poor grammar, has difficulty making complete sentences and can't pronounce the word "nuclear". It will mean the end of the use of torture and the beginning of restoring our image around the world.
We will have a new President and, with him, will come the hope of the economy turning around, a focus on healthcare for all, a plan to reduce Global Warming with investments in Green technology and the creation of millions of new jobs, through initiating infrastructure projects across America. This will mean new schools, less crowded classrooms, improved technology in those schools, better roads, bridges fixed and other projects to help jobs and our local communities.
We can bury our heads in the sand and leave the recovery to the new president and his team or we can think how we are individually contributing to getting us out of this mess and on to a recovery. So I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy your family, enjoy your own company if you are alone, and think about what is good in your life even if it's just that you are alive and still breathing. And Santa is coming to your town tonight. God Bless.
