Gary Woltal Just Turned 800,000. Congratulations!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Daytona Condo Realty, 386-405-4408

800,000 AR points, that means.

I am on vacation and have unlimited time but limited Internet. So, I thought that maybe I have missed his post about reaching 800,000 points. Nope, I Gary Woltalchecked, Gary did not say a word. But then, hey, did we really expect him to do it? This is Gary…

I am sure no introduction needed. He is one of a kind, and one very kind…

He makes us all ponder … and we do…

He is very tall, way over 6’, but this is irrelevant. This is not his achievement. But the fact that he is tall in his thinking and blogs is his achievement, no question about it. He is head and shoulders above the crowd and we see him no matter where we are on AR.

Because he is one of AR lighthouses, tall and showing the way…

Congratulations, Gary!

Thanks for the nod Jon. The points here on Active Rain are really a lot of fun to keep track of but at the end of the day they are just points. What they are for all of us that HANG with this blogging format awhile is a reflection of the work sticking with it, with our own blogging and also giving and getting comments interacting with each other. I appreciate your recognition immensely and you are right, I'm not going to write about this stuff about myself. You know me well Jon. Thanks again and enjoy that vacation and that limited Internet from time to time you know can be quite the blessing!! Smile.

Gary - I know that points are purely an indication of something what comes with consistent blogging, but first and foremost it is a signn of character, ability to work hard and be steady.

I have seen a lot of fast horses here on AR, and one day they are all over, and in two months they are gone. Blogging like gold comes in tiny quantities, and you need to surf through a lot of soil before you get some meaningful amount...

You are working your gold mine

With dignity

Congratulations
