The global whoosh
My brother called today to tell me he is going to be a grandfather – the family keeps expanding – just my immediate family is 11 nieces and nephews, 5 great nieces and nephews, 2 great twin nephews enroute, and one gender unknown now on the way. Counting the child we adopt – wow, that’s a lot of kids. My family is having its own little population explosion. Also, my brother mentioned his business is down 40%.
I was speaking later to a friend over a cup of cay and we’re talking about friends who have a rug business, friends in the restaurant business, and potential businesses that could survive in a downturn and there is definitely a reverberation happening around the world as business is slowing, slowing, slowing and no one is talking about growing, growing, growing.
Flat is the new up. Maintenance is the word of the day.
The best we could now hope for is that we all weather this storm – but batten down the hatches because this one looks like the mother lode of storms.
