A Sunday to Reflect

On this Sunday, take a moment and think of those who are having a difficult day...

Someone who is ill and suffering
Someone who has to show their home that once was filled with laughter and now is filled with tears
Someone that is cleaning up after Ike
Someone who has lost their job
Someone who will die today in Iraq

Fill in number 6 and more with those WHO need our thoughts and prayers.

There are agents who are also loosing their homes in this Real Estate market. The time has no barrier nor does it only select a few. There are many who are having a very difficult time and Sunday seems an appropriate day to reflect and be thankful for what we do have while thinking of those who are less fortunate.

Have a wonderful Sunday and give someone a hug today...

Hi Gena, Lots of pain out there and your post is a gentle nudge for the rest of us to stop and reflect. Not enough of that around anymore !

Hi Gena,

How thoughtful of you..

How about,

6. Someone who feels the pain of loss of a loved one, in Iraq or anywhere?

7. Someone who just received a diagnosis?

8. Someone right here in the Rain facing loss and thinking of quitting?

Bill, I quite agree...sometimes we just need a nudge to bring a little heart into our lives and do some reflection.

Li, balance is the key to a better life, don't you agree?

Richard, I totally agree. It would be so simple and the rewards so great.

Bill, a gentle nudge always helps us to start reflecting.

Li, balance is what makes for a better life, don't you agree?

Richard, I totally agree. The rewards would be endless

Judy, an what a goal that would be...with such greatness

Russell, glad that it made your screen and hopefully made for a better Sunday and a good way to start off the week.

Lynda, those are great suggestions and very apropos. Thanks for the add.

touching post Gena, and yes we too here in Redding have seen several agents either loose their home or having to leave the industry, sad.

Gena, We all need to count our blessings and not dwell on the bad things that happen to us. We will overcome this and everything else as well.

Chris, I showed a realtor's home the other day and it really hit hard. This thing is effecting so very many. Thanks for popping on over. Bill, well that's true it's never good to "dwell" but it is good to take notice and to be thankful for what we do have. I think that's very important. It also shows that a person has a heart and empathy. It is a nice trait to have...so many don't, you know.

Sep 22, 2008 03:49 PM

Bill, it's never good to dwell but it is good to express yourself and not hold things in while at the same time being thankful for what we do have. It's only human and shows compassion and empathy. Nothing wrong with it, just shows a person has a heart! Something we need a little more of instead of being so cold.
