It is the night before the eve of Thanksgiving and I have come home from food shopping, grabbed a bite to eat and as I was reading some emails from various people I had this overwhelming feeling of gratitude come over me. Now please understand, I , like everyone else, have been affected by the state of our economy. That said I must go on to tell you how grateful I am to be right where I am. Gone are the days of doing what I really do not want to do, playing with people I don't like, saying yes when I mean no and vice versa. I have absolutely wonderful people in my life. I have and continue to get absolutely GREAT clients! I love what I do professionally. I love buying and selling antiques as well as my real estate.
I am very grateful to be an American. I know that being an American is not the most popular thing to brag about right now in this world. I would like to tell you what I am proud of. It is very plain to see that our situation in this country is the result of much greed, self centeredness and a total lack of caring for other human beings. I do have every confidence though that our country and all its citizens will band together and work our way through this mess, learn our lessons and become better people for it. This is a result of a few, not the many.
I love the citizens of the United States. I love our diversity. I love that we can be who we are even if others don't like or understand who we are. What I really love is that when the chips are down it has been proven and it will bear true again that we will band together and find a way out of the mess we are in and support each other in doing so. There are lessons to be learned from these times. Each of us can contibute greatly to effect change. This challenge we are facing will strenthen us and help us to become very grateful for everything we have.
This is a time to support our newly elected president, whether we voted for him or not, as he has a long road ahead of him. Remember the total is as great as the sum of all its parts.
Please take the time to look around you and see where you can help. It is sooo rewarding. Giving really feels much better than taking. Give a smile as it doesn't cost a cent and makes people feel like a million.
I want to take the time to thank all my clients. You have enabled me to pay my mortgage, buy food for my family, you all are truly my angels. Many of you are my friends now and we break bread together. I am very grateful you came into my life.
A WONDERFUL,SAFE, HAPPY HOLIDAY TO ALL! ~Sandy www.sandyreid.com
