Last year when I watched its a wonderful life on tv, I felt like george trapped in a cage with no way out. I dont necessarly mean relationships or marriage but struggling to keep someone alive, when you own a business for thirty years it becomes you and you it. When its all you can do to keep it going and you are running at a loss and losing it sucks. I cant tell you how many times I felt like george, the line but they will vote with potter , if you dont stay. My children are leary of taking over the business but one is already a darn good seamstress at 17 is running a sideline already due to her talent. IN business you always have this feeling if i could one thing different it could make a huge sucess its finding that one thing. With worse econmic times potential you would think that i would run and hide but i guess that i am too thick or slow to due either. My hope is that before i am too old or too broke that we find that trick to turn around and make some money with any crime or larceny involved. 59Lark:cool:

Best of luck to you, 59Lark. I can't relate to having a business and trying to keep it going, but the other day I told my wife that I felt like I no longer have any control over my own life. One step at a time, and as Billy Joel once sang, "I found that just surviving was a noble fight."

Merry Christmas,

Tom

I just entered that world not long ago, Lark. I have probably about 6 months to a year to sink or swim. finger crossed for us both.

One of the precious things about life to me is the tenacity and strength I find in the human spirit. It truly awes me what people endure and how all have different crosses to bear.
I cry every single time I watch It's a Wonderful life for this very reason. 59Lark and all. May 2011 be a bang up year.
