So we have just a few days left of this year 2018 and we’ll be talking a lot about ringing out the old and ringing in the new….
Holiday shopping was certainly ringing the registers as Americans spent more….. one credit card company estimated some 85 billion dollars in holiday sales. Whether that’s bad debt or good economy, it certainly indicates something of consumer optimism.
And that’s what I’m trying to hold onto. Optimism. While the stock market spasms and tantrums….and the anti-Trump rally crowd overwhelm with headlines and emotion…I’m trying to tamp down the negativity in mind. A new year does bring new chances, new directions, along with the doomsday predictors. I’m choosing to focus on being prepared…. But optimistic that the strength of Americans will carry on. Certainly I feel that way about Texas.
