A bit of history. Wonder if we are heading for another depression? We keep hearing things are improving but it is hard to tell when there are so many places folding and our main streets are filled with empty store fronts. I think I counted eleven here in Brookings yesterday. There is one complex with two hotels, a huge restaurant and they held an auction and there was not one bid. Our town is close to bankruptcy along with others along the Oregon Coast. History has a way of repeating itself and we have much to learn from our past. Give it some thought as you may have to come up with an idea or two to survive the Obama onslaught of making the poor poorer and the rich richer and his kingly crown worn in the style he has become accustomed to. Maybe you will learn to like turnips and cabbage.
Sunday morning and we are going to have sixty-five degrees today. Sounds like a walk out day today. Our last Sunday of 2013, make it your day to rest, relax, and fill your seconds doing the things you love to do best. Get ready to ring in the new year with a heart filled with hope for a better and kinder world for one and all. Add a new person to your friendship list; visit the sick, light a candle for a soul or two and while you are at it, invite a family member or two for a pizza an a movie night or make some tacos and top it all off with a delectable desert. Sounds good to me. Don't forget two hug are better than one. Hugs to all.
