Here's a picture I took of four houses for sale not far from us. Yep. There are four in a row. I circled the far two signs so you can see them better.
The news reports that California is lagging behind the rest of the country as far as economic recovery goes. Jobs are still really hard to find here and there are for sale signs all over. Are we in a slow recovery? When will we feel it here?
I guess time will tell. After the fact, things look more clear. Perhaps we can look back on this in a few years with greater appreciation for September 2010. Maybe this fall will be the start of things turning around for some folks.
We've been very lucky that things have not been worse for us. The war has given my hubby job security. In fact, his job was the reason we sold our house when we did. It just so happens that we sold right before the housing market crashed. I like to think that we were led down this path that has helped us prosper in a time where so many have been less fortunate (not less deserving). Some day when we look back on these blessings, we may understand why we were given them. Maybe it is so we can do the best with what we have been given.
