Hi my lovelies,
So when the economy first started falling apart in 2008 and the cuts and layoffs took a drastic turn all across the country, people understood that the global economy was in trouble, but we were still kind of hopeful that it would be over by the end of 2009. Well here we are approaching summer 2010 and people are still getting laid off, companies are still closing, and federal budget cuts look like a massacre in some states.
Anyone under 60 years old living here in the States hasn't really felt the effects of a severely depressed economy until now. Though we've read about and heard dismal tales about The Great Depression, this level of economic failure is new to many of us and it will be interesting to see how we handle things and where we all end up before things turn around again.
Now we're about to face the effects of the BP Oil disaster. I know some days it feels like we're staring at a funnel cloud. The economy has affected almost everyone's bottom line, and made us all pay more attention and tighten our spending belts. We've become smarter, more patient, more creative, more inventive... Whatever it takes to survive and make it over this giant hump.
But tell me, how has the past year and half to two years affected your love life? If you're single, have you been meeting and dating people, or have you stopped pursuing that for now? How has your stress level affected how you approach a potential love interest or partner? Do you find that you're more cynical or ruthless in your dating mentality? Or are you more passive? More determined? Or no real change in the way you think? I'm curious because I've heard different things from men and women.
If you're in a committed relationship or a marriage, has there been any added strain because of the stress of a job loss or income loss? Has this crisis brought you closer together or driven a wedge between you?
What are you doing to hold it together? What do you do to keep the spark going in yourself and in your relationship? My readers and I want to know.
Wishing you Peace, Love
& Abundance Always,

I hesitate to post my personal, I'd rather post it in one of my poems to express it. But I think it's an AWESOME topic.
ReplyDeleteI have changed.. I've come to expect more from myself not the other person.
I don't blame them if things don't go my way - I say now " What did I do to make this outcome possible, and what could I have done to avoid it.
But not just for the bad things - the good things too have a cause - and that is so worth taking a note of.
