Most of us are like kids in a candy store, we see lots of great things and want it all. As we grow older we begin to learn that there aren't enough hours in the day or money in the bank to have & do everything we can imagine.
Now we learn to prioritize and that's tough. We have to figure out what truly is most important in our lives. One of the things I like best about the holidays is ... it brings us back to what's important. For me it's the people in my life, and the memories of great times together. Of course with our boys grown this brings extra travel so we're driving to Norfolk, to visit with our Navy son (we've made a gingerbread ship this year ... photos to come) and then flying to Florida to visit with our older son.
We also have family online and Active Rain is the best example of this as there are so many of you out there, reading, writing and sharing your thoughts, your feelings, your expertise and support for everyone else.
I'm not a realtor so I do feel like I operate on the fringe of this great community. I own a handyman business and recently launched www.HomeTips4Women.com where I hope to build a similar community for home professionals who want to build connections with the same home owners you serve. You see ... a homeowner actually owns their home far longer than the time invested in buying or selling. That's where we participate, to help them decide to buy or build ... to repair or replace, to decorate and most important, taking time to enjoy the homes they work so hard for.
My journey these years has been helped by listening to all of you. Thanks ... and it's hard to believe with this post, I will make it past the magical 100,000 points!
