My Six Words. . .
Yesterday, I wrote a post about expressing gratitude and thankfulness in six words or less. It is certainly challenging and some members promptly participated with excellent responses in their comments.
After pondering along with some(as in lots of) editing, my six words are ready:
Collecting silver linings, not shiny objects.
Happy Thanksgiving! And, yes, that's another example. And in six words or less.

Morning Michael.
Today, I'm thankful for getting up this morning. Otherwise, it would be an awful day, for me.

Your six words are brilliant, Michael! While I try to live by that each and every day, I've never spoken those words so succinctly. THANK YOU!

Debe Maxwell, CRS - it took some editing! I know verbosity quite well - and eliminating "it" from my vocabulary can be a battle at times.

I think it's the 'story-teller' in us, Michael! Even a short story is longer than a blog post so, it's difficult to give the Reader's Digest version of a short story, isn't it?!!

Debe Maxwell, CRS - you're far too nice - as opposed to many others who have told me to get to the point while furiously looking at their "pretend" watch on their wrist.

We may be related, Michael - my husband does that to me!
He'll ask, "Is there a point here?" or "Now, what's the point!" or the really condescending one, "Wait! Have I missed the point?"

Awesome! In your last post I went with listing six words. Didn't even occur to me to make a sentence. LOL

I like your 'pretend watch' that ponders along the meandering path. Look at where we've all gone to with it this year...........great journey Michael Jacobs !

Michael, it is funny WAY back in real estate school they warned us about the shiny objects, and only if you NEED them! Happy Friday!

Joan Cox - I am pretty sure I was well-aware of the allure of shiny objects prior to real estate but so many aspects of the industry do seem to reinforce it on a regular basis.
