Keys To My Happiness
Making Life Simple
We lose keys and we find keys and we get new keys.
We just have to find the ones that unlock the right doors.
Sometimes, we have keys, but we don’t know what door they fit.
That can be the hardest part, putting the right key in the right door.

I like simple. Straight-forward. No nonsense.
Here’s an experience where simple would have come in handy.
Recently, I was showing a property. I had previously previewed it during a broker caravan and arrived early in order to turn on some lights and make the home as appealing as possible. You know...set the stage.
Of course, finding the lockbox was a bit of a treasure hunt with some vague showing instructions.
Eventually, I found the lockbox and inside were five different keys -- yes, five -- for the vacant home.
There were also multiple doors on this property. And multiple locks. Let’s just say...I was glad I was early.
I could find no reason why this process needed to be so difficult.
But I digress.
Oh, and none of the keys were labeled.
I went to the front door. And tried the first key in my hand. Then number two. And yes, you guessed it - number five worked.
It didn’t need to be difficult. Most things don’t need to be.
Not keys. Not locations of lockboxes. Not showing instructions.
I like simple. I think most people do. And that’s not a mystery.
