A lot to be thankful for !!

By
Real Estate Agent with wexzilla.com

It is has been a trying year for Phoenix AZ real estate owners. Even Scottsdale AZ, normally an island unto itself, has seen the affects of an ailing greater Phoenix AZ real estate market.

If you are reading my blog, Phoenix AZ real estate is important to you. And speaking for myself and co-workers, the Phoenix AZ real estate market is the proverbial ‘rising and setting sun’ to our daily lives.

I am not so short sighted that I don’t realize this narrow view of the world. There are clearly many things more important life than Phoenix AZ real estate.

Here are my Top Things for which to be Thankful!! …. in no particular order …

  • The stock market is not open - what a relief. At least today, it cannot be down.
  • Thanksgiving Football - one day of the year that my significant other is happy to watch 8 hours of sports *
  • Capitalism - we still have the opportunity to do, create or be anything we want
  • Socialism - we still find a way to share our success with those who are less fortunate
  • Barack Obama - I didn’t vote for our next President. Though, I beleive he offers a renewed sense of optimism and a burning Hope that we can better and that things will be better *
  • Pets - no matter how bad the economy is beating us up, our dogs and cats are still happy to see us when we get home
  • Family, friends, - no matter what your home appraises for, they will always come fill it with warmth and love *
  • #1 - The brave men and women of our armed services. Without there loyal, brave and mostly thankless duty we would not be so fortunate to have any of these other wonderful things on the list. THANK YOU!!!

Thank you all so much my friends at Active Rain for reading, contributing, commenting and making my personal and professional life richer.

A very HAPPY THANKSGIVING and Happy Holiday Season to you and your Families!!! - james wexler

#1 should be on everyone's list. We would have nothing if it were not for the brave duty of our current and past armed services

CMS - you are right. It is the dawn of a new day. Like it, love it or hate it, we are in an era where capitalism is rewards and socialism helps pay for the have nots

I've found that if I'm Pleasant, Polite, Personable, Positive, and Professional throughout the year, I'll always have something to be thankful for.

This is a great list! All of these would be on my list of things to be thankful for as well. I too think that Obama's election has engendered a renewed sense of hope and optimism; both of these will be necessary to get our economy moving again.
