To Recede

What does it mean "to recede" in our time? Well, this will be my record of what the recession looks like for me.

I have already been downsized and am trying to find a new job, in marketing. I am the bread winner while my husband attends graduate school. Needless to say, this was very unexpected and at moments leads to extreme discouragement.

Gas prices have gone down some, which is helpful, but probably only temporary. I am not foolish enough to believe that food prices and other products will go down as well. That is not the reality of our times.

I have never been much of stock watcher, but the numbers of late have a tendancy to make me lose my lunch and/or keep me up during the night.

I am actually starting a job club at my church to help others in my position. I will be interested to see how many attend. I will let you know.

So, that is where we start. I will let you know how things progress as we all recede.
