Looking Forward

I constantly see the effects of this recession around me. Living in Las Vegas shows me that spending can be, and often is, frivolous.... just not as of late. I see and hear about all the down-sizing, laying-off and pay-cuts around the Nation and World.. Las Vegas held out as long as it could, but it has now seen direct effect. Things are slow here.

See, I know that the negativity that is lent to an issue like that can actually be a perpetuating thing.. So I try to stay focused and keep my head down, be positive - eat and sleep right and work as much as I need to. DO what I gotta do to make the ends meet, and keep everyone happy. Especially Me.

I mention all this because I am going on week 2 of a 7 day a week working.. I haven't felt too bad from it yet, but I know it's early on. The last time I tried to work 7 days a week - it was for a few months in a row and I was stressed out alot of the time as a result of being too tired or too hungry to do anything. Constantly moving and trying to be a good guy and live a good life while taking care of what I can for the family.

I need to do this because of the current state of things, and the unpredictability factor is too prominent. Hopefully I can catch up, somehow and take a break in a few months. It's gonna be tough. More on this for sure.

I need a serious dose of your positivity! I know that you believe in the law of attraction, is that like "The Secret"? I need to overhaul my outlook on life so I am trying to look for alternate points of view...

So glad that you led me here, I've missed you :)

Thank you Cherie - I have not been a very good 'follower' lately and have been so busy. I do get around to reading everyone's pages - even as I am not contributing as much these days. Thanks for always stopping in and leaving a little note. I hope you are well.. I have missed you all too. We are all in it together, and it really feels good having you guys as a back-up and support for the 'heady' stuff. Be well! Talk to you soon :)
