More doom and gloom in the news.

In fact, I heard a long piece on NPR today about how the media cannot even cover all the events occurring right now.

This is the time to cocoon.  To create a haven where the world can be left at bay,  if even for a few moments.  The national end of my business organization is pushing buttons with the  slogan, “I refuse to participate in a recession.”  I have got to be honest–and I can, since this IS my blog–I think this is silly.  What I mean is, a recession isn’t something you choose.  It’s not a choice for us regular people.  It’s an economic reality.  The same people who are drinking the koolaid and regurgitating this stupid phrase are the same ones who have had to downsize their businesses. 

Facing the world can be tough.  But having a little corner to settle into for rejuvenation can make it easier.  It is not escapism, it’s a coping mechanism.  Spend the couple minutes it takes each day to make a portion of your space perfect for you.  Neat, clean and filled with what you need to relax.  The whole world will be better for it. 

Tell me about your corner.
