When you follow numerology you know that moods and expectations change daily. The #7 to #8 Personal Day change can be exhilarating. Yesterday, everything seemed insoluble because news reports analysis brought about thoughts of down and dirty politicians and CEO's - more slimy unknowns, political deceptions, money mishandling and, unending questions. Today, when putting news reports together, there's additional input based in common sense reasoning's.
The possibilities of finding solutions lies in noting what is being accomplished with the Stimulus Package - not the done-deals that we cannot change. AIG be dammed! However, wasting valuable time on blame isn't getting us anywhere. Our worldwide reputation is not getting stronger with politicians infighting and not supporting Obama's leadership. Who will buy our US bonds or products if we look like we're failing to join together. We lose world leadership and customers to buy our wares - when we are not unified.
It's a first for me: He's a Republican. I support CA Governor Schwarzenegger's positive spin on TVs Sunday morning, Meet the Press. He focused on the incoming infra-structure funds as positive and hailed details that create positive job growth. He speaks with high expectation of the help his state will get. He isn't focusing on what he had or what he didn't get. The Guv's got positive energy that needs to be shared.
I got a boost from watching Meet the Press, however, I don't expect a quick 2009, #2 Universal Year recovery. Delays due to impossible schemes and devious - sneaky - detailed dreams are revealed intentionally in a #2 vibration. The revelations indicate where changes need to be made and remind us that details must not be overlooked.
My objective is to remain afloat, knowing that this is a time to scale down, forget freedom-from-worry-in-retirement expectations and begin again. That's the difficult thing to digest. Knowing that I cannot try to maintain my past lifestyle if I want to survive and eventually progress, encourages the depth of self-analysis that brings about depressing #7 Personal Days. The trick is to know that tomorrow, the #8 Personal Day, changes perspective!
Although, the world is in a #2 "details revealed that cause delays" Universal Year...(calendar year = 2+0+0+9 = 11, 1 + 1 = #2)...knowing that this year will not allow action quickly makes it easier to face and solve daily survival challenges. Mix in the #5 "expect the unexpected" Universal Month of March and you understand why details that are unexpected have caused delays in Obama's extensive, complex Stimulus plans.
So, sour moods and expectations change to sweeter projections with the month's changing numbers. The good news is...March, the explosive, revealing #5 month, brings about pivotal changes and our mood and expectations switch a more mature, cautious April's #6, improved focus: Assuming responsibility for actions, building family and neighborhood relationships, balancing opposites and making commitments that must be kept.

Eat Home...How Much Do You Save?
While waiting for the Stimulus Package to unwrap, it's money and how to hold on to it that's in the forefront. Let me point to a good cause for self-discipline...
...best money-saver is eating home and passing up the frequent, quickie, no-time-to-cook-tonight $20. a person dinners. Whatever happened to a $3. not-McDonald's sandwich or a $6.50 neighborhood restaurant "blue plate special?" They're gone.
Then too, dinner-out-celebrations are planned for and usually expensive - $35. to $50. a person - some go higher. If you're not on a company expense account...and, they're going south fast - it's cheaper to create a table centerpiece for the dining room or kitchen and live it up on steak, prime rib or lobster...fancy food is a lot cheaper cooked at home and we kiss the cook - no 20% tip involved.
Eat at home and have leftovers to freeze for another day...Times are tough and getting tougher...so, here's the it-pays-to-cook-at-home story in dollars. If you save $10. a day...you save $70. a week. In a year, you've saved, $3650. Plan out the savings for the five years it will take to get out of this financial mess and you've saved $18,250.
Hang on to it and that's a down payment on a nifty foreclosure.
