Springing Ahead

Written April 14, 2009 by LauraD

Question: Will the the fact that the economy is no longer an interesting dinner-party topic help us out of the downtimes? I think so. Calling a downturn a "depression" as opposed to calling it an "allergy" or a "rash" or a "case of the heeby jeebys" tells us that mood and mental state are contributing factors to this current blah blah...

So question two is: Will we smile our way out of it? Can we just put forth enough positive energy to start sounding our boom again? I don't see why not. It takes the same energy to bitch as it does to pitch. So as spring slowly turns up the heat, I am asking all readers to do something less expected.

That's all the instruction you get. Do something out of the norm. Not average. Different for you. An act that propels those who know you to think, Hmmm... that was fairly interesting.  And because we've been a little recessed in our thinking these past months, make it a nice act. Stay away from the seven deadly sins.

That's it. And if buying a bag is different enough for you, then it doesn't suck to be spring for me...

Best,

LD
