Mike in Tucson: Mortgage: Desert Cactus

The Tucson Mountains in May: Warm, beautiful and inviting

I stopped in Gates Pass on the way home last night to watch the setting sun paint the sky, and thought to myself "What a beautiful corner of the world this is!"

You can tell from my blog that this is so, but sometime soon you'll want to come visit and see this for yourself.

I wish you warmth and beauty in your life, and extend a heartfelt invitation to come visit Tucson.

Intoxicating. How better can the south west be explained?

Mike,

It's fascinating to me how we tend to take things for granted. When I lived in Washington DC, I used to drive by the Capitol Building every morning on my way to work and upon my return home from work at the end of every day, for 7 years. Looking back, I remember how majestic the building was as you neared it from the 14th street bridge in the morning, and how breath-taking it was seeing it lit up in all it's glory at night when I returned home.

For a couple years I was awe-inspired and continued to feel a deep sense of pride in the monuments in DC. By the end of the 7th year, I realized that I hadn't even looked at the buildings or seen any of the monuments for several years.

How Tragic!

Living in the most powerful city in the world and allowing myself to take for granted all of the symbols of freedom that surrounded me on a day to day basis. I got caught up in the minutia, the proverbial "grind" of DC life, and forgot, essentially, where I was.

I'm writing this because you're post has struck a cord with me. Living here in Scottsdale, AZ and, being only a few hours from where this picture was taken, I realize that I'm surrounded by this here in AZ every single day!

Thanks for reminding me to pause and take a look around. It's easy to just "go go go go" with out appreciating the little things, which, in essense, aren't really that little considering the beauty of it all.

Have a great weekend Mike
