Moving Up In AR World - Top One Thousand

Moving Up In AR World

This morning, as I logged in, and post this blog, I have moved up into a bit more of a rarefied portion of Active Rain. award

This post will put me into the top one thousand (by points) in the AR universe. I know it is a far cry from Lenn Harley who passed two million points today - but it is important to me - putting me in the top One Thousand out of over 320,000 participants.

For those who might be interested here is the breakdown for all my counts:

Amongst all users: in top 1,000 in AR; #28 in Washington State; #2 in Pierce County; and #2 in Tacoma.

Among mortgage professionals -- #41 in AR; #2 in Washinton State; #1 in Pierce County; and #1 in Tacoma.

Thank you to all those who have read my posts, put up with my comments and have commented on my blogs.

Hope you also have something positive to show for your work as well.

Are you feeling sleepy from the lack of oxygen? That will improve as your blogging red cells increase. You make more of them every day!

George -- thank you for your encouragement - though I find it hard to believe I am likely to make it into top 100 -- unless several of you folks up there stop participating (which would not be good for AR). Looking forward to hitting #500, and then working to halve that.

Jay -- that is one of the things I am trying to work on, to get some more of those under my belt! Thanks for the comment and support.
