One thing that has been good is work. I consider myself fortunate that I have had steady work throughout the last year. I know that many people are struggling to get work and I feel sorry for them. It must be devastating to their finances and their self esteem.
The good news is that the economy is finally picking up. Many people are finding jobs and getting back to work. I hope the trend continues and that everyone will find the job they seek. The good times are ahead and I hope that everyone will enjoy them.
