Day 1 following the news of my husband Marco’s surprise layoff.  A heartfelt round of gratitude to everyone who has called, emailed, twittered, tweeted, Facebooked, and texted support over the last 36 hours!  I promise to post more regularly again soon.  I’ve just been a little, well, preoccupied, you could say.

In the meantime, I wanted to send a shout out to Laura for her post yesterday, which truly cheered me up.  I find optimism contagious, and though many are seriously suffering right now, I think Laura’s insights about the future are spot on.
