When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
• They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a god send and they are.
• They are there for the reason you need them to be.
• Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
• Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
• Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
• What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
• The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
• They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
• They may teach you something you have never done.
• They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
• Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
• Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
• It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life,
Whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

INVESTMENT 101

If you had purchased $1,000 of Lehman Bros. stock one year ago, you would have $49 left.

With Wachovia, you would have $16.50 left.

With AIG, you would have less than $5 left.

But if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg plan.

CRISIS ON WORLD’S STAGE

Since the mid-September collapse of Lehman Brothers sparked the latest chaos in the financial markets, world leaders, warning of a global economic downturn, pledged Saturday (Oct 11, 2008) to work together to find solutions to what is unfolding as the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

The Dow ended its worst week ever Friday (Oct 10, 2008) and capped a staggering eight-session sell off that has seen the blue-chip index fall 2,400 points. Wall Street lost roughly $2.4 trillion in market value during the week. Stocks have plunged despite a series of efforts on the part of the government to unfreeze the credit markets and get money flowing through the system again.

In recent weeks, financial market turmoil intensified throughout the world and credit markets froze, causing a chain reaction resulting in non-financial companies experiencing difficulty in financing normal business operations.

We’d better ready for the worst……………….
