I am the Happiest Girl...

One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me

It's so good to be able to write and say that life is going well. That I'm really happy with my job, that I'm really happy with my boyfriend, that I'm really happy in general. That I'm going to the gym, eating reasonably well, going out with friends, making money....

Yes, there are a few things that I could complain about... but why?

So rather than go into details about any of that, I'll talk about something that worries me. The economy and Not-for-Profits.

Unfortunately another theater group, the lovely and talented Opera Pacific here in Orange County, has folded. While it hasn't been in a good financial situation for a while, it's sad that this latest economic downturn has created a situation where it's only option was to close. I almost worked there...

So many of my friends are out of work. I'm almost terrified- last one in first one out you know. Even in the entertainment for-profit the world seems to be having an effect. I know lots of people who are talented and experienced who can't seem to find something on which to hang their hat. Hmm... I don't usually follow this type of news, but I'm trying to get better at acknowledging how it might affect my life, and how, as an adult, I should be paying attention.

Has the economic down turn affected you?
