How Much Does It Take to Make You Happy?

David Oliver, in Deming, NM, captured the essence of optimism in the face of a storm in this photo. (You can save a high resolution version for your desktop by clicking here. Do it.  You deserve a gift for subscribing to my blog.) 

Does the market for Real Estate have you complaining about your current volume of business?

If you're a lender like me, are you sitting in your office playing solitare on the computer, like one associate I know?

There's a market for sunshine.  Just a little--only a few rays focused on a single spot, will capture the imagination of those around you.

Optimism is contagious!  Get up!  Get out!  Get going!  You won't survive.  You'll thrive
That's the Real Estate opinion of this Tucson Mortgage Lender.

Hey Mike I'm a forever optimist!!  No point whining about things if you aren't going to do anything to make things better.  We all control our destiny and while some have an easier time then others, we can all be successful if we work at it!  Can't wait for it to fall in our laps, especially in this market!  Great Post and I love the picture!

Hi Mike!!  I am a friend of Sandy's.  She sent me your post.  How did she know I was playing solitaire in the office last week.  Okay, I needed the kick in the behind.  I plan to refocus my energy, and step out this week.  I will go to your blog and read some more.

Make it a great week!!
