As a player, losing a hard-fought chess game rewards me with a great opportunity to learn more about myself or the game of chess.
As citizens, economically, we're losing a game we could never hope to control ourselves. $500 today will only buy us what $300 could just 10 years ago and it's getting worse. The dollar has fallen behind the euro & continues to slip.
Change is inevitable.......
We must change to survive economically and physically. We also need to change our lifestyles to survive spiritually. This means we need to think smaller, utilize local business and farming and continued use of alternative energies.
I don't plan on going anywhere, just changing.
As a whole, we have become a much poorer society and we're faced with the unavoidable task of making major changes in how we live.
So, I'm getting some chickens and maybe a cow, too. And minimize uneccessary expenditures.

Unable to get everything we need at local businesses forces us to travel to obtain even the simple things. Many local businesses have gone out of business, not able to compete with the larger ones. We already plan our trips to accomplish many things with one trip. The biggest CHANGE we have yet to make is using our resource, our land, to make ourselves self-sustaining to a point where we never need to go to the grocery store. Getting chickens and a cow is just the first step. We need to become a neighborhood that survives off trading. Your neighbor may have cheese and milk, another bread, another eggs. What can we have to trade with them? Maybe vegetables with your green thumb? In the winter, we can pot vegetable plants in the house or guest house and keep an indoor garden.
If our money is not worth anything, this is how we will have to survive.
I love you!
