This summer many more people will be staying local during the celebration of our country's birth. The Fourth of July is traditionally one of the most popular holidays for travel but due to the escallating prices on gas, food and other items many people will opt to stay closer to home.
This may prove out to be a good thing for your local economy. People will spend their time and money in the businesses and events that happen to be closer to home thus shoring up our own communities.
Perhaps the neighbors you've wanted to meet but usually wave to when you see them at the mailbox will have a barbeque and invite you over to join them. Or better yet you can do the inviting!
Perhaps you'll run into a local businessman you've been meaning to connect with at the fireworks and he'll give you a lead to advance your business.
We as a nation have gone into our shells homes and isolated ourselves from our neighbors for far too long. We bought into the big chain stores, resturants & shopping centers leaving many of our neighbors out of business and having to work for the big corporations who could care less about you.
Perhaps this gas crisis does not need to be the curse we are all complaining about. Perhaps this crisis is meant to be the catalysist to bring us back together, into our individual communities. Perhaps this crisis can be a blessing to bring us back to the simple things in life. Home, friends, family.
