We had some financial stuff happen to us last year that was completely out of our control and we're recovering from it (not even related to the current financial market). But it's amazing how many positive things have come out it and how many lessons I have learned as long as I remember to move forward. Otherwise I can easily get bitter because of what someone else did to us and how it'll take us years to recover from it!lrbodinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743533679955553180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-58595917160076987292008-09-29T16:41:00.000-06:002008-09-29T16:41:00.000-06:00this is a great post, i'm glad you went ahead and ...this is a great post, i'm glad you went ahead and posted about it. it's funny because sometimes in the blogging world it seems as if it's easy to go on "playing house" and escaping from what's going on OUT THERE. thanks for posting about this. <BR/><BR/>ps. i love the pictures. very cool.Brooke Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07916812321514524989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-55055038479895812302008-09-29T16:12:00.000-06:002008-09-29T16:12:00.000-06:00I think the quote is powerful and yes we do come h...I think the quote is powerful and yes we do come here for pretty things and a lot more, your insight into things. this new medium we have "blogging" has proven to be a powerful place where big things can take place...it is an important time-non of us will not be affected-i would have love to read your piece rachel!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-52676884938335468062008-09-29T16:09:00.000-06:002008-09-29T16:09:00.000-06:00it's important to look at today's drop in terms of...it's important to look at today's drop in terms of percentages vs. points as the Dow has appreciated significantly over the years. there's a good chart here - http://money.cnn.com/2008/09/29/markets/markets_newyork/index.htm?cnn=yesCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10658384183783157441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-42621482996424869442008-09-29T16:04:00.000-06:002008-09-29T16:04:00.000-06:00My head says that the quote is absolutely right, b...My head says that the quote is absolutely right, but my heart (gut) worries about things beyond my control.

Regardless, I have faith in our country and we will persevere.<BR/><BR/>I'm kind of surprised the market reacted so violently in response to the House's rejection of the bailout plan on the first go round.

I am not discouraged by current events because I know that the people in our communities are resilient, smart, and handworking. Whatever the worst may be, we will handle it!<BR/><BR/>Healthy fear and sheer terror are not synonymous. Realistically, things have to change on individual levels, not just the whole.

If we hold our heads up and march forward with the attitude that we can get thru this like everything else we have gotten thru, we will.<BR/><BR/>Being a little scared is ok, being terrified and passing that on is not. It is like that telephone game we played as kids. The message gets all messed up at the end.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090184398267603913noreply@blogger.com
