I went shopping at a farmers market yesterday and got produce for a steal (and supported small local farmers at the same time). Life could be better, but if you keep your head while all others are losing theirs, you stand a good chance of coming out just fine, if not better off.

Whoa off topic... Sorry.

No that's cool I hear ya, you actually have a good point. I guess it's time to wake up and smell the coffee, gotta work harder for what I want but at the same time enjoy the small changes.
