Searching for Inner Creative Genius

I read today that the world economy is going to take awhile to bounce back - lovely.  The whole economy, lack-of-stability thing has totally hit home hard these past 9 months.  After my husband and I both graduated with graduate and post-graduate degrees in December '08, we've been trying - unsuccessfully - to land a job.  With 5 children to feed and one on the way, our optimism and confidence is running a little low.  So, what are we doing besides daily searching and applying for jobs?  We're searching for our inner creative genius!!!

My husband and I are not pessimistic people and I try to find humor in every situation - keeps me sane - so as sit and wonder how we're going to make ends meet from day to day, we sat ourselves down and decided that now is the time to start some kind of business.  Our background and areas of expertise include education, government, political science, and law.  Surely we can come up with something, right?  We've hit the drawing board a dozen times this past month and keep tossing ideas into the garbage can.  But, I'm thinking a big idea will hit us soon - it just has to!  We're not going to sit around and feel sorry for ourselves - we'll keep pushing onward, but I just wish we could channel the creative genius that is inside both of us! :)

So, if you're out there without a job or you're not sure how you can make ends meet, keep your head up and channel that creative genius within you.  I'm sure we all can develop some idea to get us through or at least devise a creative plan to make ends meet.  Best of luck to all of us! :-)
