subject: No More Doom And Gloom..... [print this page] We keep hearing recession, recession, everything's going to be dreadful for the next 20,000 years, what will they say next?
In the morning the first think you think is mortgage, bills, MOT when you wake up. If you're lucky enough to have a job it's a never ending cycle of work and paying bills. The little money you have left each month could give you a nervous breakdown!
It doesn't help, of course, this wintry weather. You have to spend an hour scraping ice from your car before you can start your day of worries! What joy!
A little positivity wouldn't go amiss. I like to try. Hard, I know in this climate. I hear current economic climate 5 times every day but when I was at school it meant something else. Sunny, warm, yes it's coming back now. Spending time on the beach with your family, that's what climate used to mean.
Stop spreading this negativity around, start thinking sunshine. A break? Everyone deserves one even though money's tight. Haven't had holidays for a while? It'll be hard to remember what sunshine actually is. The quality time spent with family and friends, it's that warm glow you feel. Really enjoy yourself, that little time when you don't have to listen to the news. Holidays aren't as expensive as you are thinking. Well they don't have to be. A bed and breakfast in Majorca, or whether its
cheap holidays to Corfu you fancy, you can usually pick up a bargain if you book at the right time. Even UK breaks will keep you sane for the rest of the year and families appreciate that time together. For a short time, remember how much you enjoy being together as a family and how much you love each other. When you are at home, it's hard to do because everyone's so stressed and under pressure. Keep focused and get planning your special time, we're worth it.
