I'm Back!

 Dinah sees Beautiful BridgesSometimes life throws you a curve ball or a couple dozen. It is in the quiet moments that you begin to reflect on just what this means.You stare at your options.

You can stay put and let fate have it's way. You can roll backwards and let it rule your world or you can move forward.

I would like to say that I am the type who never lets it get her down. The one who has the Pollyanna attitude. I'm not. This time I just handed fate the reigns.

But as we all know life keeps moving forward whether you are on board with the idea or not. I decided to take a hard look a where I was and where I was headed and...I didn't like it. It was time to take back the controls. So I did.

I have a new plan and a new outlook. I am energized and ready to meet a challenging market head on. I love being a Realtor and I am willing to pursue any lead that takes me where I want to go. Some will obviously be better than others, but all have potential and all are worth the lesson learned.

Remember it does not cost a thing to wear the latest and greatest smile. I look forward to seeing yours!

A smile can convey a thousand things words can not.....If everyone smiled more often, the world would be in a much better spot.  Love your attitude!

Dinah Lee:  ANY smile YOU wear... is automatically the latest and greatest !  Sorry you were "down."  I have many periods like that.  It often seems that things get out of control... and sometimes taking back the reins can be a difficult thing.  Ease into it... and keep your chin up.  Gentle huggs...

Welcome back, Dinah.  Great post to come back to, as well.  I LOVE the new photo.  I hope all has settled down a bit and things look clearer once the dust has settled.  I look forward to reading more from you.
