Perspective

In these troubled economic times, its might be a good idea to take a step back and think through what we're doing. The following quote from Ellen Goodman might help to provide a little perspective in our daily lives:

"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it."

Ellen Goodman is a Pulitzer prize winning columnist, author, speaker, and commentator who refuses to call herself a pundit. Ellen has long been a chronicler of social change in America.
