I have a listing. It is my dear friend who has been an agent for 20 some odd years. She used to be one of the top ten agents in my association. She has sold her fair share of real estate. It was a total compliment that she would ask me to help her. She has now slowed down a bit.
She lost her beloved mother last year after taking care of her in the most loving way a daughter can love a mother. While my friend belabored and loved her mother, she neglected herself. She skipped her mammogram. The next year when she went to get caught up on her own health issues it was discovered that she had breast cancer. She had 3 surgeries and then started an aggressive round of Chemotherapy. She had the best attitude. She would go on Wednesday and get her manicure and then go on Thursday and be all fluffed up for her day at Chemo. Every outfit was a perfect match, including earrings, jewelry, and shoes. Even the glasses were coordinated with each outfit!! She amazes me!
They tell her that her cancer is gone, but she is now having radiation therapy daily for 6 weeks. And you thought you were having a time?
She called me a couple of months ago and was just wiped out and asked me to come and list her house for her and get it sold. She was just too worn out to deal with it anymore. We have had some good traffic through, a couple of folks for a second look. We are hoping for an offer soon. 
I have to say my friend always amazes me that she gets worn out, but always has a positive attitude. She is always put together and a good word for everyone. She is now getting her energy back.
I believe we are all stronger than we give ourselves credit for. I too have lived through a cancer diagnosis. All is well. Thank God. The point is, we all get so caught up in wallowing in how "bad the market is" that we lose sight of other things that are important. Live your life and counting your blessings. Work hard, keep your attitude positive and know you are going to live through this market and come out on top.
Praise the Lord! May He bless your friend with good health, all the days of her life.
I can see He already has blessed her with good friends like you. Thanks be to God.
