Local Investment

I know that money is tight and our future is uncertain. Do you realize that our future is always uncertain? Dangers are all around us and have been our entire history. The economy shrinks when we stop spending money, which effects our economic health. Try to live without the new and bigger goods. Live within your income. We are a nation of excess. Be thankful for what you have and enjoy it. Happiness does not come from goods. It comes from people, like friends and family. You can't buy them. If you go out to dinner, stay local and tip well when warrented. That stimulates the local economy. If you know me, you know that I always stimulate the local economy. The places I go, the staff know who I am and are happy to see me. I find it sad that I can make someones day by the tip I leave. That is so sad. MONEY DOES NOT CREATE HAPPINESS. My happiest days were growing up and playing tag with my dog "Joshua". Taking him out to lunch and for ice cream. Petting him and just playing. No matter how bad a day I had, he would chase it from my mind. I miss you Joshua. I hope that in Heaven you have found someone to play tag with you and give you all the petting that you want until I hopefully join you. Then I will take over and spend eternity with you having the best days ever known to man. Now you know why I put up so many cocker spaniel pictures.
