Yes, the employment rate has reached the highest number in 14 years, but how many pundits and reports does it take to realize that half the reason the economy’s in the dumps is not strictly because of actual financial problems? Half of our problems are literally created in our heads. It’s all too easy for Americans to let their economic confidence to follow its path. But we have to do our own part in this. We need to get out of our heads. Since we’re not taking that romantic luxury cruise this January, unplug the phones and computers on a stay-at-home vacation. Refinish that coffee table. Refinish those wood floors. Or attend your local American Institute of Architects chapter events for an enriching experience in architecture. In the words of Sheryl Crow, “If we could only get out of our heads... and into our hearts...”, or if you’d like a bit less Bob Dylan with your sugar, she offers this: “Someone’s feeding on your anger Someone’s been whispering in your ear You’ve seen his face before You’ve been played before These aren’t the words you need to hear.” Go to PlanetGreen.com and play an eco-friendly game show hosted virtually by Tom Green. Enjoy the free activities your community offers. Some of those might include a humanities festival or a book fair or even a weekly free day at your local art museum.
