George Bush and arguments!

Do you have any idea of what most of the financial guys are talking about at the moment? If you do, please let me know. What I did understand was that at in the US last night these really important people in whose hands out future is supposed to be - had a big barney! Not sure how I am supposed to feel about the fact that these guys can't agree on what they are supposed to do to hep us out of this fiscal mess - but it was weirdly reassuring that even they have to resort to playground antics when under pressure.

All I know is that I am determined not to be swept away with too much rhetoric and financial doom and gloom. I am currently reading 'Nella Last's War' written by a Barrow housewife during the second world war. It puts so much into perspective.

We are not being bombed here in Cumbria and the local farmer's market still sells lots of great food to eat - and my son goes to school without fear of attack. So life seems pretty good to me and I hope it is OK with you too.

What do you need to remind yourself of to keep a sense of perspective? Hope you find something uplifting!!
