Those of you who know me well, also know it is not likely that my mother would take offense to the title of this blog. Mothers out there who do, it is just a cliche. Nothing is meant to be personal. If it does feel like a personal attack then maybe there is something for you to take a look at.
But I do hope that the person who is in charge of the the crazy hype that constantly reminds us of how high the gas prices are, and how bad the economy is, and how bad the mortgage & housing market is, every day, day in and day out, takes this to heart.
I wish I could meet this one person. I'd knock'em flat out. Who ever started the campaign of daily remind
ers? Like, do I really need to be reminded? I get it every time I go to the gas station, everytime I go to the grocery store and every time I compare my income from 2003 to today.
I am sick of the whining too. I say suck it up. I don't know how to say it nicely to get my point across. Folks sometimes life is hard. The man on the top of the mountain did not FALL there.
So what are ya going to do? Keep reminding yourself that times are hard and it means we have to actually start paying some dues or just get up and do it?
I'm reminded when other catastrophes happen in our country. I remember September 11. We did not whine about that, we did something about it. The city of New York and people of this county rose to the occasion. That is what we do.
Our freedoms were not handed to us on a silver platter. As a result of our freedoms this Constitution of America acknowledges we are the strongest and most liberated people of the world. I think we can over come a little housing slump, a little economic slip, and shuffle things around, white knuckle it and get through.
I don't mean to minimize the extend that some folks may have to "shuffle things around". I know for some this may mean, foreclosure, no summer vacation, and for some just a little tightening of the belt. Hey, I am in the same boat. But I am not going to complain about it. I am going to suck it up and do what I got to do.
There will come a day and this will be history. An important part of history, no doubt but I have the attitude the sooner the better! And I'm just going to do what I can to move in that direction. It starts with attitude.
I was told by a wealthy person, one day a while back, "Skid row is a state of mind". No matter how hard it gets I am just not going there. I am going to make a difference today.
If a move to Central Virginia which includes Lynchburg, Campbell, or Bedford Counties is in your dreams I am the one to make it happen. I am motivated to work hard with your best interests in mind.
