I had in mind to write a blog about the pessimistic predicitons on the economy.  Then I decided to be positive instead.  We at our board luncheon last week learned that at Wells Fargo mortgage loan applications had risen 7% over the previous month.  We are getting more traffic on our web site and calls on our signs and houses.  In our office more agents are showing homes to qualified buyers and more offers are being submitted.

The Home Run Derby last night offered some amazing shots.  Hamilton hit a couple that looked like they had a chance of going out of Yankee Stadium.  The Rays with a payroll somewhere around A Rod and Manny Ramirez combined is a half a game out of first place.  The Cubs have a good chance of having enough Pitching and defense to go to the World Series. 

I was thinking the other day that I have in my lifetime seen things that my father born in 1920 never saw or heard of in his lifetime.  Sure he lived through the Great Depression, World War, the Korean War, all of Vietnam, the Cold War.  But he never saw nor heard the Red Sox win the World Series not once but twice!  He never saw the White Sox win the world series either.  Plus there may be a chance that the Cubs win the World Series. 

I guess my point is anybody can be negative.  It is the easy road.  It takes work to be positive.  To be really successful you need to be positive!  Have a Great Day!
