Sometimes We Feel Good

Services for Real Estate Pros with Ward County Notary Services 607851

Sometimes we feel good and hopefully we feel good most of the time.

Moving ones home location will cause a rollercoaster of emotion and feeling "good" often gets pushed out of sight, or at least to the back burner.

Even the most spiritually balanced will find it a challenge to keep a state of tranquility. There are the backaches, the person holding up the other end of the couch causing you to go to fast or to slow up the steps and there are the "discussions" as to where this or that piece is to go. Feel good moments can be hard to find during a move.

And then... sometimes you feel great! Times when a room comes together, when the kids quit fighting, when you soak in a perfectly poured bath at the end of the day, and when your spouse suggests we eat at your favorite restaurant tonight.

As they say, seize the moment, do a happy dance, recognize your achievements (you moved that hide-a-bed and no one was seriously injured), and share your joy with others. Joy is contagious spread it to others.

Right you are Bill Salvatore - East Valley . In my adult life I have moved 3 times PLUS a back and forth when my home was ravaged by flood waters. 

Living in a military community it is hard to imagine moving as many times as I know some do.

Good morning Bob,

Moving is never easy and there are definitely many different emotions that are felt. So glad you are feeling a sense of accomplishment because you are right the feeling of joy is contagious and what a gift to others!

Thank you for the morning inspiration.  We are in the process of replacing a floor that failed in less than two years, then selling the house.  Yesterday, we were especially challenged when we found out the new floor we wanted to install would not work.  Still, my happy dance will come soon.  Maybe at the end of the week.  Have a great week!

Joy is contagious, spread it to others, love this quote and a fun post looking at all sides of moving, the painful and the ecstatic, dinner at your favourite restaurant.

Thank you for those kind words Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 . It is a little late for me being I retired BUT I am getting more and more respect for the Buyers and what they go through in moving.

So true- moving is highly stressful and can be very emotional. This is why it's so important to support clients in any way possible!

Thank you Lise Howe . Showing support makes so much difference in the attitude of all involved. That "can do" attitude gets agents more referrals.

You're right, Bob.  Joy is contagious!  I also agree that in the heat of a real estate transaction, escrow, or move, feeling "good" can be set aside.

Hi Bob... for me it's never been an emotional roller coaster in moving. I manage the process with no interference from anyone, I design my rooms without anyone's interference and somehow it all comes together. My husband wouldn't dare make suggestions and he knows it.

Good evening Bob. Sometimes we feel good until the stress overtakes it! And it happens often. Enjoy your evening.

Myrl Jeffcoat I had two feel good moments today: 1) we wrapped up the fall fundraiser at KHRT Christian radio that I had been part of over the last week and #2) I am totally moved out of my old office location (but not done setting up the new) SO I no longer need to set aside feeling good. 

Thank you for the feature in the Old Farts Club... my back makes me think there should be a Old, Old Farts Club. 😂.

Nina Hollander, Broker my mom was the same way and we moved fairly often, she was unflappable.

Yup, and that has happened to me several times in the last two weeks Wayne Martin  but as I told Myrl Jeffcoat I got one big stress producer behind me today, moving out of my old office.

Dolores and I need to downsize and it is going to be a major challenge to get rid of all of the stuff we no longer need.
