Stressed

I am a worry-wart. I worry about almost everything and it is one of the things that I dislike the most about myself. The economy right now worries me, while I feel secure (mostly) in my job there are hundreds of people each day that are losing theirs. And today I found out that my husband could in a few short months lose his. While, like most people right now, we are pinching pennies and being careful about what we spend at what point does it end. I worry about how much worse the economic situation can get before people can catch a break. My heart breaks for the people losing their jobs, their homes. I am tired of turning on the news and hearing nothing but bad news...after a while it just wears you down. I think that's where I am now...just worn out. I am almost too tired to worry.

On an upside I am very excited to be having all of our close friends over on Saturday night to celebrate with some very dear friends the upcoming arrival of their baby boy. We have the greatest friends and family, for that I feel truly blessed.

I know what you mean. It seems like at least 2-3 businesses are closing every other day here where I live. I really hope the economy has a turn-around soon!
