This week started with a bang and my optimism is in high gear, so look out the Perpetual Optimist in Yuma, AZ is on a roll! While the intent of this blog is to remind people to give this Holiday Season and tell you that there is a Toys for Tots Donation box in my office here, I want you to remember that giving isn't just about Money, it can be about time! If you have more time than money as many people say, go give some of that time away.
Two of the Reasons I have to be optimistic: 
And Now an example of why being an optimist this Christmas Season and all year for that Matter is a Great thing to be!!
First Let me begin by telling you an example of how optimism rules my world! I've had this cute inexpensive property listed for a long while. We have lowered the price numerous times without much interest. It has been at an all time low for some time now (a month or so) and my client (the Mrs.) passed away, I was very sad for the husband. Then the strangest thing happened; People started showing an interest in this property like never before. I hadn't lowered the price again or anything, but I began to get a call on it at least once or twice a day. There were even two offers, granted one was a low ball offer and another just couldn't come up with the down payment, either way, THERE WERE offers! I'll jump in here and tell you that because I am a Perpetual Optimist in Yuma, AZ I have the pleasure of selling everything from Inexpensive property to Custom homes with Amazing Views! This particular piece of property while inexpensive had a Nice View of the Mountains and Unmarred Sunset Views and THE cutest 1960 mobile on it.
I know you may think I am crazy here, but it was pristine!! Beautiful real Wood Paneling, and the slatted windows that let the air through on a beautiful day (We have MANY beautiful days here in the winter.) Cute Kitchen with Miniature Cook top and separate oven in Chocolate Brown accented by a red brick back splash (real not faux)- Just Cute! I thought it was adorable and every buyer seemed to have a plan to junk it immediately until Sunday God sent me a buyer who offered an excellent price that the seller was prepared to accept and they LOVE the Cute little mobile. Now, maybe I am an Extreme Perpetual Optimist in Yuma, AZ but could it be that his home was just waiting for these buyers?? Who knows, but what ever the case is, I think that the Property and the buyers were a match made in Heaven!
Things like that are the reason that I Love, Love, Love being an optimist! In my world there is always a reason why things happen and why things don't happen. If the home you thought you were absolutely in Love with, is sold before the ink had time to dry on the offer you just wrote, don't be sad, it happened for a reason and there is a better home out there for you! Life is so full of unexpected moments of pleasure that you need not dwell on the moments of disappointment, because if you do you will miss all of the fun stuff!! My friend jokingly said "stop being so positive." I can't, I just can't I am a Perpetual Optimist in Yuma, AZ. If you want to grieve for a while and dwell on all things sad, DO NOT call ME, because I am the Perpetual Optimist in Yuma, AZ. I can't help myself, I will tell you all of the reasons why the thing you thought was so bad may really not be as bad as you think it is or at minimum I will figure out a way to make it better. Please don't call me if you want to drown in a sea of negativity, but if you are feeling a little blue and want to bask in the warm glow of Happiness then by all means call ME! If you want me to find all of the Great and Positive things about the home you are about to sell, Call ME! If you are looking to find a Great and Wonderful Home in Beautiful Yuma, Arizona where the sun shines 98% of the time, then call ME the Perpetual Optimist in Yuma, AZ! I have also decided in the spirit of Christmas that for every closing through January I will donate $100 to the local charity of my clients choice!
So This Holiday Season, go out and be positive- Give of yourself weather emotionally or monetarily! As I told a friend who was dwelling on a bad situation the other day, I know it has been said many times before, But- When Life gives ME Lemons, Baby I Make a Darn Fine Lemonade!! So This Beautiful Winter Season when the Lemon trees are Full of Lemons, I will be making a lot of Lemonade and sharing my "Lemons" with some of the Much Deserving Local Charities!!!! If you have something to give Go Out and become a Perpetual Optimist!! Share and Give someone else a reason to be optimistic!! It doesn't have to be money, it can be time just GIVE!!
A Big Thank YOU to all of my clients that enable me to be a Perpetual Optimist in Yuma, AZ!
