Links Back to the Week That Was 10/19

Posted on Oct 19, 2008 by Cari McGee in Week That Was

On Wednesday of last week, I was able to do a walk-through of a new home with a buyer that I have come to really enjoy spending time with.  She’s a Christian, like me, and she’s older and has raised four wonderful children into adulthood.  I love the perspective she provides – a sort of “this, too, shall pass” attitude.  It’s so easy to get caught up in the drama of the day that we forget that there is “nothing new under the sun”.

For example, there have always been layoffs and people losing their jobs, as happened at Redfin and Zillow this week.

Some cities crumble when times get tough, and some shine (as per this Business Week article).

People offer tips on how to save money, like how to detail your car like a pro.

We look for humor in grim realities – how fun? to find these on the shelves of my local library.

Tragedy strikes and we try to help ech other out.

We dig into foods we probably shouldn’t spend too much time with, but they look soooo good!

And we laugh, because at the end of the day, that’s still one of the best things you can do.
