Is the recession over? Are happy days really here again?.. Whenever we are changing years, I always ask myself this question. It's not that i'm scared or what, but I how I wish that 2010 is the best year for all of us, as we all know that recession boomed last 2009 and many countries around the globe suffered on this and a lot of people lost their job. Let's remember Charles Dickens quote "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times." Paraphrasing Dickens, "For people who are prepared, 2010 will be the best of times. For who are not, it will be the worst of times..

Happy days?.. It's just around the corner.It is just how we see things. I guess we just have to be optimistic. Regardless, if we are going thru recession or not.

It's all what we make it. We were hit by the economic pinch as well, going from 2 incomes to one and our bills seemingly increase somehow! lol But, we chose to find the good in it, and while some days are hard as far as money goes, we are far richer in the areas that really matter. Just depends on where you put your priorities. Hope 2010 is happy, healthy and prosperous for you!

Yes, just realized that though, people lost job or working hours being cut.. but the cost of basic needs seems to be increasing, every week.. for everyone, money is the biggest problem to support needs, but despite of economic lost, you'll suddenly realized that there is always hope and reason to move forward. A blessed 2010 to you, and your Family! Cheers!
