This, too, shall pass.

There is good news ahead for our country. And, I'm not just referring to our new President. That's what you thought I was going to say, isn't it? Ha-ha, tricked you!

Though I have to admit President Obama has given our country hope, and THAT is great news. When people have hope, they are more likely to spend money or maintain their current status, which will help the economy. Our economic stability is directly related to the confidence of the American people.

It is the economy I have good news about. Despite the fact that it took forever and a day for our country's leaders to admit that the economy is in a recession, experts have now announced that the recession has lasted a full eighteen months. Why is that good news? That is wonderful news because history has proven that most recessions only last approximately eighteen months. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I see it!

Some financial experts predict that the stock market will begin to make a turn during this current year. The stock market always improves just before the economy. It is always one step ahead, forecasting the future. This country will begin to make a turn around as long as we do nothing to keep ourselves in a recession. The economy will finish running its course and come back around.

There is good news ahead! Things are going to start improving! Look ahead, see the light and dare to hope...
