We are strong.
We are resilliant.
We are creative.

In the face of a neverending barrage of gloom and doom news it is good to see that not everyone is buying in to it.

From the linked article,
"Americans have spent the past year or so complaining about the rising price of everything from bread to gas, and bemoaning the ways in which it has changed their lifestyle.

Now, as the reality of a down economy begins to sink in, experts say consumers are starting to embrace the simple life: staying close to home, cooking more, planting a garden and even delighting in bargain hunting."

I have lived in a beautiful area of upstate NY for years but never took the time to explore and enjoy the wonderful things to do in the 25 mile range around my home. Always taking the big vacations and trips to far away areas while turning a blind eye to local wonders. This summer has been an adventure enjoying what is local. I knew there was a reason I migrated to this neck of the woods.

I am finding I am more relaxed without all of the planning and rushing and as a family we seem to be having more quality time to do with as we please.

Would love for this to turn into a neverending good news thread if others want to join in and share. What is working for you? What silver linings are you discovering?
