What I Learned This Week at ActiveRain-November 11 to November 17, 2018.

 

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain! With this series, I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or the other professions that I never knew, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

The next time that you know someone who seems to be taking this country for granted, have them read Nina’s post!  Love it!

Marte brings up an excellent point, especially since we all work with clients daily. The other day while at the dentist, I felt I was in Texas again when the assistants and staff addressed me as "Miss Kathy." I loved it.

Not everything that comes our way is good or useful whether is information or character traits. Are we as smart as horses?

Hi Kathy-Well I did this morning on my phone but obviously it didn't take so I got out my laptop and will give it another go. As usual I had missed all but two of these. There are some great thankful posts. I like so many others are we are thankful for YOU and your commitment to this weekly series. While I don't generally read more than 1 or 2 before your Sunday post I do enjoy reading the ones you feature. It is a wonderful way to expand my horizons so thank you for this ongoing series. Always appreciate it. Have a blessed week.

Not at all. Magic Kingdom was a big disappointment. We spent 5 hours at MK and only got on 4 rides. We cut that day short and opted for Epcot instead. Much better there.


It was so crowded and the lines were so long throughout all the parks that it was frustrating. 


My favorite ride required a 110 minute wait in line.
