2009, It's Gonna Be Good........

Happy New Year everyone and it is going to be a happy year for us anyway, don't ask me how I know because I can't really explain it to you but when I awoke this morning (1/1/09) the first thing I noticed was that it was as if a weight had been lifted from my chest. It was a feeling of lightness, of realizing the worst was over and it could only get better and would, it felt great! I realize this country is still in a major financial mess with no cure or end in site as of yet and I know it will probably get worse before it gets better. As for me the recent years have been the worse of times, not all bad at all and even very, very good in some instances but worse in the over all big picture. I find myself almost breaking into spring fever early in anticipation of the future in spite of the current circumstance's and that's a beautiful thing!

There's something to be said for being at the bottom of the food chain, as everyone is falling to where you are and have been for awhile, you've already established yourself there, got your bearings, adjusted and are working on rising to the place you want to be. I say it in that manner because I have no visions of grandeur or immense wealth, I have no desire to acquire either I just want comfortable, a measure of security and peace of mind. So while a large part of the country, hell, for that matter the world is free falling downward, I have already landed hard on my ass, gotten up, dusted myself off, cried myself dry and proceeded to start climbing back to where I came from and this is a very friendly atmosphere for doing just that. I have a wonderful partner who comes from similar circumstance to journey with and we have friends and family who we love dearly and who loves us in return, we have decent health, intelligence, do not fear but thrive on hard work and we are good, highly ethical individuals with a lot of integrity. Can't nothing or no one hold a team like that down for long any way and we've been down long enough.

We are rising, the San Francisco 49er's are rising, Notre Dame is rising and it's only the second day into the new year! My husband, Jack is an Ox and it's the year of the Ox and if anyone deserves an awesome year of goodness coming their way it's him, I'm a Horse and last year was a bad one for me but I survived, in fact even improved on many fronts so I'm excited and eager to see what 2009 will bring our way. And I still can't get over the wonderful feeling I felt this morning and I can't explain where it came from or why it came I am only glad that it did, I don't question it because the intensity in which it was felt left no reason to only to enjoy it and that's just what I intend to do.

No one ever reads this blog but maybe if I make a better effort to publish something new on it everyday one day soon someone will take notice, if not that's OK to because the nature of this blog at least makes me take a few minutes out of everyday to think about something beautiful in my life, something I want to share and that in itself is a very beautiful thing, don't think? You'll be hearing more from me........

We Are Snowballing Straight Into Hell With No End In Sight!

This blogging thing is fairly new to me and I'm not quite sure if this shows up on the net or how it shows up, I will admit I'm feeling a little bummed out that no one has seen, read or commented on anything I've written. I'm also telling myself that you must give these things time, I'm sure there are thousands out there and probably more interesting than mine. So I'll attempt to keep plugging away in hopes someone will read me!

I am just learning how this Internet thing works, search engines and how to get on them is what I'm working on now. I've taken a liking to graphic design, I should say I'm loving it and even in that there is so much to learn but it sure is fun and I'd love to have a job that's fun. You spend so much time working and put so much effort into it, that to have a job that you consider fun would be pretty awesome I think.

With all the people blogging on the Internet how do you attract reader's to your blog? What makes someone surfing on the Internet choose to read your blog and how do you know if anyone can even find your blog, is anyone out there???? With unemployment as high as it is there should be plenty of people on line, what are people concerned with the most these days? ( How does my font change mid blog I haven't figured this out yet but I need to because it annoys the hell out out of me and wastes my time trying to get back to where I was in thought rather than how to get this damn thing back to where it was! As you can see I've given up for now but rather than delete the blog or type it all over again I'll just keep at it and all good things come in time, right?)

Although I feel if the Republicans get elected into another 4 years it could be an end to all and any good things as far as the common working class is concerned. It's been 8 years of take aways and down sizing so all those tax breaks the rich got aren't really having any effect on our economy is it? The rich are just banking it and getting richer, as usual. While the working class who really need the breaks aren't getting them, I mean let's face it the rich are doing fine, they can afford everything they need and they could also afford to pay a little extra in taxes to take the load off the working class, cut us some slack in these days of economic hardships. How rich is rich enough? Most of them got that way off the backs of the working class and it wasn't by paying them fair and god forbid they should actually ever be generous and actually show some appreciation in a way that really felt like appreciation, like fair wages and some benefits. They are enjoying all the fruits of our labors so you'd thing they could afford to show a little generosity instead they greedily fight to keep all they've got and attain more while we, the working stiffs struggle just to get by, let alone be able to afford to go to a doctor when we are ill, buy proper food and provide adequate housing for our families. The system is so out of balance it's disgusting.

After 8 years of Bush, we are at an all time high in unemployment, wages fall pathecally short of supporting households and families. Our government is suffering and making major cut backs, the housing market is in the toilet but the rich are getting richer and I guess that's what matters, right? I mean why should they pay their employee's fair wages and provide health, dental and retirement benefits for those who helped make them as wealthy as they are and make no mistakes they didn't get there on their work and efforts alone! Hell no, don't do that put what little money you do spend into lobbyist and politician's hands to keep from having to be fair let alone generous, that will get the economy thriving again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, 8 years and we are stilling going down hill straight to hell with no indication of if or when things might turn around in this country, right now they are just steadily getting worse every day.

Here in Nevada it is exceptionally bad, with Indian casino's and on line gambling all legal now it's hurt industry here tremendously, we have legalized prostitution also but with the economy in recession no one's spending money there, we had a lot of Californians come here after being driven out of California by the cost of living so that just drove the prices of everything here up but unfortunately nothing seems to drive wages up in this state, it's getting so bad here we are almost free falling straight to hell.

The rich make more and should pay more, it's as simple as that, they should be generous to those who helped them get as wealthy as they are. Republican politics are not working, it's as simple as that. We need a change, it's as simple as that and if we don't get one soon we'll no longer be a super power, no longer a free nation, a shining example of what can be, just a disgrace because of what could have been. Wake up and smell the coffee people, it's burnt and dried up and if you don't take action soon the pots going to explode and then what, think about it. The wealthy need to pay attention too, because if the working class goes down the tubes then so do you, just a bit slower so your greed and selfishness aren't really helping you out in the long run either. You could end up right back here with all us "have nots", you have to do things right to make things right and you know exactly what I'm talking about! Ethic's, moral and social responsibility, fairness all things that need to be in place if we are to continue to succeed as a nation and the time is now before all is lost, think about it!
