Just keep swimming

We all know the current state of the world economy.  For a while I was checking the news daily to see how the market was doing and if it had rebounded any.  I quit doing that.  It will rebound... eventually.  But I know that if I expect good news daily, I will be very disappointed most days.  My son, Bennett, is 19 months old and obsessed with Finding Nemo. If you haven't seen it, it is one of the good ones.  I should know.  I watch it about 6 times a week (down from 10 times/week one month ago).  Short synopsis: When little clown fish Nemo is taken off the reef by divers, Nemo's dad sets off on a journey to find him with the aide of an other fish named Dorie.  Now Dorie is not the brightest bulb.   She suffers from short-term memory loss and often forgets where she is and what she is doing.  Nemo's dad, Marlin (clever) is a little high strung and always worried. Long story short... Dorie makes her way navigating through a complex world with the mantra "Just keep swimming."  Throughout the movie, when times get tough and circumstances seem insurmountable, she sings her little song..."Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming..."

The point of my ramblings is this.  Times are tough, yes.  Especially for artists and galleries.  People don't buy art when they are loosing their homes and jobs.  We all know the economy will turn around, the only question is when.  So we all have two choices... we can worry and obsess about it every day and make ourselves crazy, or we can follow Dorrie and just keep swimming.
