Start Your Week Right

Good morning, readers. Ro’s Words of Encouragement originated as a weekly e-mail with encouraging thoughts that I sent out every Friday morning. I figured reading a positive, uplifting message on Friday would help my readers shake off any negativity from the work week and enable them to relax and enjoy their weekends. But why limit it to the weekends? I think getting some good news on Monday morning could help improve everyone’s attitude going into the work week. Let’s face it – most of us could use a mental pick-me-up on Monday mornings.

So here’s some good news for you this week: The stock markets experienced a big rally on Friday, moving us farther away from possible bear-market territory. Some positive news, including slightly lower unemployment in many states and good corporate third-quarter earnings reports, pushed the Dow into positive territory for the year.

Check out these articles for a more detailed breakdown of Friday’s rally:
