I am a Jazz lover, I cut my teeth on Miles Davis when I was just 16 years old.  The first album (yes I said album, not CD) was a Miles Davis goodie by the name of "Miles Ahead".  By the time I learned to like Miles, I had become a Jazz aficionado.

Prior to Jazz, I listened to Classical while reading Russian Novels.  I had a thirst for understanding different cultures and their music.  However, I found early on Jazz transcends all cultures, all races, and all nationalities -in other words it is universal.  (Something like what we strive to be as Real Estate Professionals)

Another favorite of mine has the same name as the title of this Blog:  "Old Socks, New Shoes", by the Jazz Crusaders.

Sometimes as a person, as a woman, as a mother, as a wife,  as a daughter, as a Real Estate professional, I feel like Old Socks, in New Shoes.  I am ever changing, ever evolving, running to stay in tune, stay in step, and stay up to date.  I have FB friends, I try to Tweet, and want to be Linkedin, but sometimes I have to realize that sometimes those old socks get holes in the toes, and are just plain worn out.  However, just like a new pair of shoes make those socks look good,  my clients make me feel good when they tell me my job is "well done".   I feel like a new person - like a pair old of socks in new shoes.

So let me flip the album over, and start anew tomorrow, I won't give up, or give in, there's a lot of work to be done.

A very nice post.  I love jazz too!  It does transend many culutures.  Music is magical.

I a jazz fan too.  I like your analogy of old socks, new shoes and as I think about it there are many parrallels:  adding flare to an old dress with a wildly colored shoe; buying a contrasting color belt to replace one that goes with one of your staples in your closet.

We all need to be refreshed from time to time.
