RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY...

Rain & Realtor's Ramblings in Yukon, OK For the last 18 days we had only one day without a single drop and that wasn't even for a whole 24 hours...

Until today I almost forgot how the sun looks like, not to mention how it feels when it shines. Gloomy, overcast and rainy days seem to be on our calendar for a few more days...I laugh about it (what else is there to do for the optimist like me) and say that I started growing green on my body - LOL...

Truly in my garden I have rocks which are covered in moss and they look awesome! Patiently, however, I wait for the summer to come very soon...

Being an optimist as I am, I tried to snap out of this 'hibernation' and get into some kind of action ... like a good project or someting like that to catch up and ... I dipped into my 'to do bag'...and you know, I found plenty there! Since Realtors are not 'normal' people we always race with time and things to do.

I didn't go to the office, I just stayed at home and worked on my database, client call and correspondence. Recently I purchased a new contact management software and try to integrate all of my tools to work with Microsoft Outlook.

Finally I categorized, organized, applied plans, updated details and info etc. etc...I called a lot of my clients and got things rolling like a rolling thunder...it was so nice to have this 'burden' getting off my list!

It is a slow process...but it has to be done. As always the beginnings are the hardest part of action. I have not yet finished my updates, calls and correspondence but the majority is behind me!

So what can I say...Rain, rain go away but I think I am glad that it was here to stay. Activity breeds productivity!

With green smiles (I hear a thunder again),

It is so true. Beginning is the hardest part. Yesterday here in IL, it was raining and gloomy. Rainy and snowy days are good days to touch base with your SOI and past clients. With green smiles

Bo, as much as I don't like rain, days are like that can be very helpful. The same goes for wintertime with the snowstorms coming to the area. It makes me to slow down and catch up with many things that were put on the back burner.

Great post. I think I have webbed feet from all the rain in the area. But I have gotten a lot of things done I otherwise would have ignored.

Suma - yea, days like these are good for something, after all...lol

Nannette - thanks for the invite, don't be surprised if I will show up on your doorsteps...I will have an awesome day, even with more storms on our way...

Lizette - always trying to find positive in a 'crummy' situation, however, I am ready for some 'sunny action'

Joanna - how big is your back burner? LOL

Terry - Thanks, yes we are in the same predicament...webbed feet? aren't they good for swimming?

Bo, Tuesday I was on Lake Texoma fishing and not only was it moist, overcast, and foggy, it was cold. Who knew that in May on the Texas-Oklahoma border I would be shivering. Now instead of worrying about drought conditions moving the foundations, we need to become french drain experts.

Cactus flower in Tucson Bo,

We thought about you last month when working cows in Caddo, OK. The entire week was dry where we were, and the day we left, the rains started. They're glad to have the creeks running again. Feel free to send some of that rain to the desert southwest!
