Have you been paying attention? While all the pundits (the same ones who failed to predict the current economic crisis) continue to predict a long road back, good news has been breaking out all week.
And in my local sunday paper, the lead headline blared: "Blissfully Booming Amid a Bust."
We have a choice. There is hardship and there is thriving, co-existing in our world, always. If we focus only on the hardship, we extend the hardship through our own fearful interactions with the economy. If we focus on the thriving, we become part of the solution, helping to lift the ship through our own thoughts and attitudes.
And, yes, we can walk and chew gum at the same time. We can acknowledge and be campassionate about and pro-active about helping those in need, even as we celebrate our incredible resilience.
Could it be that the best thing we can do to turn this economy around is to notice what's going well, feel what's right and strong in ourselves, others and the larger community, and act accordingly?
