Is it a blog if no one else reads it? I guess it is a diary.

I really don't know if anyone else will ever find this blog spot and I don't care. I think I like having a spot to record my ruminations. I sort of like having a place where I can kvetch if I want to.
Last night I spoke with my accountant. A great guy who is a straight shooter. When I walked in he asked how I was and I told him I was fine but I am tired, a whole lot. Then I threw in that most people I know now seem to say the same thing. I told him that I thought that maybe it was just a long winter. He suggested something else that after some thought seems to hold some truth. He said that people might be worried about the state of the economy. I told him that I did not have a lot to worry about as Sharon and I are secure in our jobs and save regularly. He said that we were luckier than most but then threw in that it is always in the news and hard to avoid and disturbing to everyone. Today, upon more thought I think that it is a very insightful reason for why everyone is saying the same thing. Some people may be scared for themselves and others for the general state of the economy.
I am glad that I have years to go before retirement and hopefully the economy will turn around by then. I am fearful for those who retired already and have watched a planned retirement go south. I don't want to think what will happen to the many borderline people. Will suicides go up? How about domestic violence? Charities are sending out more requests for donations as their big business sources have shrunk their giving and the ranks of the needy is going up. My sweetie and I will do what we can but in the end people have to think of themselves. Charity begins at home folks.
