They make me feel educated. What’s more depressing – expecting bad things to happen and the do. Or expecting good things to happen, then being surprised when bad things happen ?
They help me prepare for my own future rather than sit idly by and be ignorant. This puts power in my own hands, which is just the opposite of depression, wherein people tend to sit by and let things happen to them.[/quote]
Mi Amico,
very true… But remember last go around we saw good ppl lose their jobs. I do feel empowered when reading these blogs and it does give me the power to brace myself for the blow… But the blow still hurts… Whether you know its coming or not.
You cannot avoid the blow… that is what is depressing to me.
Then again whatever happens I can sit pretty for two years…
What is really depressing is tonight. I fear another down night at the poker table!
