It seems that in 2008 people will have to leave “Fairyland” and come back to the real world, (not the MTV show !) Buying a bag of groceries will take precedence over buying a designer bag. People will start cooking again, or learn how to cook, instead of flying through fast food lanes at $50.00 bucks a pop to ”make dinner” for our families. Children will benefit from eating real food, instead of french fries. We will give each other time instead of trinkets. We will learn who our real friends are. We will teach our kids the difference between want and need. We will learn that getting off the merry go round wasn’t so hard after all, just requiring a change in perspective and priorities. We will make it through this recession like we made it through the other ones.
