It's a matter of when, not if

It's a matter of when, not if

       There are four obvious ways things may sort out beginning in this Fall of 2013.

                        1) Times get real hard, like the world is on fire, so to speak.

                        2) The USA, and the World, muddle through. That usually means 1 out of 5, or more, don't have jobs for an extended period.

                        3)  The status quo continues, full of worry and a shortness of trust, faith, and confidence.

                        4) Something else.

Many, during the recent financial political debates, mostly in the USA, hoped just to let things happen, like scenario 1; and then hopefully we of the USA and World will begin the healing process sooner (call it getting better).  Alas, our present elected and appointed leaders seem to have chosen scenarios 2 and 3. So be it.

            Only time will tell what really sorts out.

            But I now have a shelf-life problem to work on, which is a good type of problem to have. The intent is to take care of my Family and Friends as best I can if things turn sour for a while.

            And probably there will be "pockets" of human success, and human failure, as we build towards a better future.

            And along the way, remember to "reinforce success, not failure".
