CRISIS....................

En estos tiempos de crisis mundial, es un poco difícil pensar en el futuro, pensar en avanzar, no sé, y todas esas personas que están al paro?con familias, con niñ@s a su cargo, esperemos que todo esto mejore, que empiecen a crear puestos de trabajo, a estabilizarse los precios de las viviendas, que todo el mundo pueda tener su casa, por modesta que sea, ojalá seguir luchando con nuestro pequeño granito de arena desde este rincón del mundo sirva para algo ;)
