While lately there seem to be people coming out of the woodwork claiming they all saw the current mess coming, I think on the whole we can agree that collectively "we" didn't see this coming.  Further, there seems to be a neverending daily dose of bad news about something or another.

In an article I would encourage you to read, author Andy Serwer rightly points out that just as we didn't see the bad coming, we won't see the good coming either.

Certainly, times are tough and they may get more difficult before things improve.  But the important thing to remember is that things will improve.

And just like everyone is currently scratching their head wondering how things got so bad so fast, at some point in the future, and I don't know when, we'll find ourselves wondering how things got so good so fast.

And lest you think I'm making this up, think back over the years and consider all we've been through -- wars, recessions, depression, inflation, etc.  And while we'll certainly revisit tough times again in the future as we're doing now, we've always survived and ultimately thrived.

There's good news on the way.  Will you see it coming?
