I

Ilove to sell real estate.  It makes people happy and usually increases their wealth. At the same time it fulfills their housing need.   What better job could anyone have than this? 

My job is better because I live in the beautiful Texas Hill Country.  It is the called the Land of 1100 Springs.  How true that is!  You cannot drive very far without coming to a low water crossing.  One side of the crossing will be peaceful and still with the magnificient cypress trees growing along the banks.  The other side of the crossing will be rapids and waterfalls.  How wonderful it sounds as you drive across slowly.

There are always people swimming or tubing at the crossings in the daytime.  If you happen by one late at night with the full moon shining brightly, you might see a doe or a buck or several.  They come to the water at night.  The Hill Country is alive with animals of all sorts, not just the raccoons, squirrels, turtles, lizards, skunks, opossums, but axis deer, auodad sheep, sika, fallow, and black buck antelope.  You never know what you will see as you drive the up and down and twisting roads.  So keep your camera handy.  There are birds here I have never seen anywhere else and birdwatching is big in this country.

Little vacations of the mind are important in this stressful occupation, I think.  That's why I take a few minutes whenever I need to to reflect on the beauty of my surroundings. What do you do?
