Unusual cloud structure in Tucson, AZ

The bond market lost ground this week, and historically low interest rates evaporated. Tim Geithner stuck his foot in his mouth and the US Dollar lost 1.3% of its value in ten minutes. Everyone seems to be on eggshells.

So I put on the hiking shoes yesterday, donned a hat to protect my bald spot from the Arizona sun, and set off to clear my head.

The earth still rotates once every 24 hours in the right direction. Our desert air is clean and the weather is spectacular. My wife still loves me. My grandkids think I hung the moon. I've got food on the table and clients who trust my judgement. And now you're here sharing a moment of your valuable time with me.

You know? It's going to be a pretty good day!

Mike,

It is all in how you see things and from the sounds of things you have the right view.

I'm a little behind on responding to this post. Reason: I've taken the weekend for me! ME! It's been mostly rainy here, but I'm warm, well-fed, loved, and truly blessed. Righteous post.

Hi Mike - Sounds like last week was a good week for me to go on vacation, although I snuck the occasional glimpse at what the bond market was doing in case something crazy happened. I like to take mind-clearing walks like that, too, and am happy Spring is here to take them in!

Hi Mike—It's amazing creepy that one person can say a few words and thematerial value of currency goes down! I'm not a Pollyanna, however, as you and so many others I find ways to leave to ditch negative and find ways to embrace all the good in my life. When I do that I quickly realize how blessed I am as so many of us are in the RAIN, my family and friends.

Your gorgeous cloud photo is a perfect example of nature's quiet and deep perspective... it says it all! It' a beautiful, clear day today... I'm filled with gratitude and I hope everyone else will as well. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
