Reply #5: You aren't alone [View All]

Sales are down in my little town, and it's a week before Christmas! No one is out buying things, even at Wal-Mart, believe it or not. Business is slow no matter what you do, be it run a booth in a flea market, have an online business, are a doctor, or a pest control operator (May seem to be an odd list, but these are the occupations of folks I know, including myself).

On the way home from Universal Worship today, I looked at the bare trees and had the odd thought - what if they never leaf out again? It was there just for a moment, but it was a moment of incredible sadness. I feel like I am at the end of something rather than a part of a cycle that will continue on as it always has.
