Some days, I Just Wanna Scream!

Some days, I just wanna scream! Today, I learned another business owner closed his doors in Grants Pass, Oregon. The River's Edge Restaurant and Miranda Mae Cafe were two of my favorite restaurants in Grants Pass, both of which have closed their doors in the last thirty days.

It is difficult to watch how this economy has negatively impacted some of my dearest friends and colleagues. A bad economy is simply not a respecter of persons, it affects everyone. Unfortunately, it appears there will be more casualties along the way before we reach the road to recovery.

My heart goes out to everyone who has lost a business, a home, a job, and maybe even your dignity and self respect. May there be comfort in knowing this too shall pass. In the meantime, let's find meaning in the midst of loss, and a rainbow after the rain.
