I really wouldn't celebrate... all the GPU btc mining escapees will blow your difficulty out of the water killing your mining profit margins. Difficulty is supposed to parallel price. Price does not go up just because miners are driving difficulty up.
And as expected, difficulty has now been driven past the point of profitability in no time 
>>Current Difficulty 44.03956404
>>Next Difficulty Estimate 33.17737992
Which makes things more interesting.... if mining LTC makes no money or loses money, like right now, who is still mining?
1. Botnet
2. People with "free" electricity
3. Diehard Litecoin fanatics
...
Whatever the answer is, it's a good sign, because it means the wildest hash rate oscillation is behind us, making future 51% attacks near impossible. In other words, Litecoin is here to stay.
