Yesterday I went to Norris Lake to work.  A novelty for sure.  SInce my hospitalization I have been more or less in shutown mode as far as work is concerned.  I had no choice.  Yesterday I had to go, like it or not. Guess what?  I LIKED IT!  It felt really good to be back doing "my" work.  No, I didn't end up selling anything, but, I remembered why I do what I do; why I work the lake with it's beautiful scenery and the friendly people that I've come to know -- because I love it.  Oh yes, it usually pays the bills too, but, I could stay home and just sell houses if that is all it was about.  Yesterday gave me courage and confidence and a strong reminer of why I do what I do.  In many ways, this has been a turning point, a significant day in my real estate career!
