It's not a recession, it's Recess!!

I've decided this recession business is way too depressing. Besides what is it if not a mandatory "staycation?" So I've decided never to utter the R word again.
Since this whole "R" thing started happening I've noticed people taking a more Laissez-faire approach to business and to life. Things have definitely slowed down and everyone seems to not care as much anymore and during the week a beach that was once a virtually abandoned is now packed. Actually most of us have been laid off so people are just finding fun things to do with they're free time. And I love how they call it "Laid"-off, as if they do it in such a way that is so graceful and thoughtful. Bull crap! It's more like "fire" you and they always do it at the most terrible time too. Right before the holidays or around your birthday. So I think it's time for some Recess!!! Instead of hating life, let's start loving it! When you're on your death bed you don't want anyone saying "Oh poor guy, he was always so stressed out about life." You want people to say "He really grabbed life by the you know what!" And why not, you deserve to be happy! Just think, if you're collecting unemployment, you're getting paid to have fun so who's really having the last laugh!
It's good to be successful and accomplish things but at the same time you need to keep reminding yourself that life comes first. Nurture your relationships, try to see the world, take yourself out of your comfort zone, help others and start a new hobby! The possibilities are endless!
And trust me you'll feel a lot better about you and the world when you stop giving this "R" thing so much importance and just start living your life. Tell me about your journey's and what you're doing with your free time, I'd love to know!
RINNNNNG!!!! Time for recess!!!
