Rewind back in time

Sun setting on the old year Dear Real Estate Diary, It is hard to believe that it is already August 13, soon to be August 14. My where did the time go?

Today, did a rewind in time. I rewound back to:

January. Good bye to the old year.

The New Years Resolutions.

February - Valentines Day. The month of love, renewed love, and dreams of love to be.

March and April: Buyers and sellers with their real estate hopes and dreams. Find the new home. Sell the existing home. Move.

May: Students graduating, preparing to embark on a new journey.

June and July: In the real estate world, this is our busy time.

August: A time to briefly reflect. How many of those News Years Resolutions have been fulfilled. Are the buyers and sellers unpacked yet? What is the fall going to hold in store. What is the status of relationships with loved ones?

I find myself somewhat wistful as I write this. It is always hard to part with those who move away.

And as far as those New Years Resolutions go,

August Sunset I remind myself of Tom Hopkin's Creed of Champions:

"I am not judged by the number of times I fail

but by the number of times I succeed,

and the number of times I succeed is

in direct proportion to the number of times

that I can fail and

keep on trying."

Tomorrow is a new day. Will you choose to fly? Will I?

Hi Sondra, I know I tell you I love your photography, but again awesome photos. I'll get to your text in a minute. The horse, the jet with the sun, and my favorite is the one with the clouds. I am starting to really love ALL your cloud photographs. The looking back on the months always sends chills down me, cause it does remind us of fleeting time, and how it is like sand in the hourglass. You just have no handle on it. It is like trying to capture fog in your hand. That's why it is so important to live in the essence of the moment. I think resolutions should be made throughout the year, and stick to them to make a better you. Good thought from Tom Hopkins. My philosophy on failure is you are NEVER a failure if you keep getting up. And a quitter never wins, and a winner never quits.

Sondra, wow, your photography is phenomenal! You are blooming my little rose! How lovely a post and I can't wait to meet you on Saturday! Wow, soon my dear...

Later in the rain~Deb

Great photos as usual! I wish I had beautiful land like that with a horse. The sunset is marvelous!

I like the Dear Dairy approach - I tried it too the other day.... I think I'll do some more.

Hi Sondra...Thank you for sharing your wonderful photographs and your writing. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your pictures.

I'm going to catch up on some of your other posts.

Take care,

Kate

Sondra, I loved the diary approach and the photographs are spectacular!

I love the pictures. They are absolutely gorgeous. I have to say it was a pleasure to "read" the post just to see them.

Sondra, I agree with your article. Dont look at what you havent accomplished but look at what you have accomplished! Thanks, Keith

Sondra: Great pictures, and a very nice review of your year. You impress me with your positive attitude. Keep up the great work.

Sondra, I am in awe of how that gorgeous photographer eye of yours is developing! What awesome work! I love your eye candy and can't wait to see what you cook up next. Very nice presentation, indeed! Love, C.

Carolyn: Sondra always takes great pictures... always. That is one of the reasons I have subscribed to your blog. :)

Sondra - Very nice words and wonderful photos of course. Keep them coming!

Sondra: A very nice reflection on a year 2/3 gone. Time certainly flies by quickly, but the more that goes by, and the more I work in this business, the better I see I'm doing in my business.

Sondra - Great pics as always! It always amazes me looking back and seeing how time flies. Why don't I appreciate the moments more? It is great reasons to stop and smell the roses!

Lindsey, it seems like it was just the other day, that I was reading your posts, about how there was still snow, and before that how you were getting into a work out routine.

Chris, It is nice that we can see how our business improves the more we work in it and at it.

Robert, thanks. I enjoy your photos also.

Karen, I really appreciate all of your support and kind words. It appreciation from people like you who make taking the pictures worth while.

Carolyn, Thank you. This is actually a collection of pictures that I've taken throughout the year, so it was fun putting it together.

Keith, thank you for stopping by. I am a big believer in trying to keep focused on the good things that have occurred.

Christine, what a nice compliment. Thank you.

Tony and Darcy, I have to thank Debra Brooks for the diary idea. I've decided it works really well in some cases. And, thanks for the compliments.

Kate, Thanks for stopping by! I understand the need to catch up. Seems like I miss a few days, then have to play catch up also.

Geogiana, the Dear Diary approach has been great for things like this... Debra Brooks came up with the idea/group....She's so smart and clever.

Raylene, I'll help you find some land like that if you want. lol. That picture was taken at a friend's place in Milam County - New Years Day. I wanted to ride more this year, but instead ended up taking more pictures.

Gary, thanks for encouraging me to continue to keep taking pictures. For me, these pictures represented a walk down memory lane. The cloud picture was taken at Jeffrey's old place. I still can't believe he left such a gorgeous place. I like that saying, a quitter never wins and a winner never quits.

Awesome pictures Sondra, I love the emotions it stirs in me to read this post. Excellent!
