A Season To Rejoice!

OK, so here we are...in the throws of another holiday season! This one may feel a bit different, though? There seems to be a lot going on all around us. Consider just a few items of interest/concern:

The Economy, President Elect Obama, Bank Bailouts, Corporate Bailouts, Rule Bending in the Mortgage Industry, Global Fears of a Prolonged Recession, Layoffs, Hiring Freezes, Hope & Change, Wars and, Oh Ya, still no cure for the common cold! (for the last one try "Emergen-C" or "Air Born")

I'm not sure Olde St. Nick is going to get much press this year? I think he could use a little help in that department. Maybe a casual mention to a few close friends, a family member or two or a trusted co-worker? How about grabbing a friend and popping out for a weekend romp though your favorite...dare I say...antiques store? You never know what little action, multiplied by a few of those you know, could spark a momentous or even a seismic shift? You could even find something you've always wanted or even run into a big sale???

After all, as the old saying goes..."you just never know...?"

It's time we "bailed out" each other!

Hello Friends,

WOW! Things look pretty bleak and scary out there, doesn't it? So, what are we going to do about it? Do you have a favorite rock under which we can all hunker down together???

NAAA!

OK, so we are running a store wide sale to help folks jump off the fence and make a decision. There are more than 50 people associated with our store that are contributing in the form of a discount to help in the cause. OK, enough about our store.

Let's get out and help each other in whatever small way we can. Things like a simple word of encouragement, carpooling and an occasional plug for an other's business. How about sending me your business's website address (use the link to the yahoo email address over on the right), an image and a wee blurb that I can post on this blog? How about prying a minute out of our extremely busy day to visit one of those businesses listed here (maybe for the first time) and buy a trinket or two? Just small things can add up and we could all use a little addition to our financial math equation about now.

Keep your chin up and never let'm see ya sweat!
