What a wonderful place we live in!

It occurs to me that we just don’t take enough time to enjoy the wonderful surroundings we are in!  With all the hustle and bustle of the daily job, kids and school,  baseball, basketball, lacrosse, cubscouts, piano lessons we seldom find time to just enjoy the surrounds that we are in.

I had an occasion to do so this weekend while conducting an open house. After laying the trail of open house directional markers (a.k.a signs) I found myself in a quite rural setting.  The rain had just stopped that morning and the air was particularly crisp and clean and the sun was shining brightly on the green of the rolling hills and was just …  well …remarkable.  I had just turned off of Camino Tassajara just a few minutes earlier and now found myself on the property nestled on the hillside of a secluded valley.

Looking out over the valley from the driveway it hit me.  What a great place this is!!  I was only 5 minutes from the shopping centers in Blackhawk yet it seemed worlds away.  The constant buzz of highways and byways was not there,  just quiet and peace!  There are so many areas like this, off the beaten track, unique and individual.  It’s in moments like that I really appreciate my job and helping people find these hidden gems just waiting to be uncovered.

From all the majestic scenery of hilltop communities and mansions to the nooks and cranny’s of quietly tucked away hidden valleys the communities of San Ramon Valley provides some of the most diverse housing locations around.  

We, the residents of San Ramon Valley are fortunate. Fortunate to be living in an area that is as interesting and diverse as the people that live here.

Robin, This is so important to remember in our hectic lives. We should stop much more often to appreciate how wonderful the world really is.
