  • imho.even here in indiana,.business is picking up…im hearing  good  reports  from   so many  connections i  have,….. auction world, retail shows, other stores,  trailer parks in florida,  realtors, sales reps,  and our  store has  been on a   good  roll  for  several  months…  …….  so   PERK UP  and   get  ready  for a good  year…if  you made it  thru  2009  you did  good and   maybe  will be   rewarded  this yr…or .maybe  people have just  adjusted  to the new  economy  but  whatever it is  its  feeling   pretty positive…

  • Today’s paper even said that housing construction, loans and purchases are picking up. That’s a good indicator of prospects to come. Thanks for the encouraging words!

  • We’re seeing it too here in Western WA :) We’re getting a lot more calls to the construction biz, people looking to remodel, build additions, repair decks…all the things you don’t do when you’re worried about the job or mortgage.

  • I’m in Phoenix, and we were hit hard. I’ve been seeing signs of improvement since the first of the year.

    While the facts of the economy are tough, I’ve always observed that perception is more important than the facts. If people feel hopeful, they act hopeful, and the economy grows. I’m not talking about being crazy. I’m talking about realizing tht you are in a tough spot and yet feeling optimistic about the future.

    The facts of the present moment don’t have to control our emotions. You can be in a really tough financial spot, and either choose to be scared or choose to be hopeful.

  • The economy is picking up! And it’s an election year … imagine that!
