A New Chapter

A New Chapter Begins

It has been a little while since my last blog and I am striving to write more consistently. This week has been a major trial for me. Tuesday morning I received the awful news that my dear beloved friend Joseph Wohlfeil had passed away. Joseph was such a special friend to me. He blessed my life with so many wonderful lessons and unconditional love. He was 97 and had served as one of the proud and few Merrill's Marauders. What a great man he was to surrender all fear and selflessly serve his country, Joseph will be missed by so many. Joseph's funeral took place this morning and he was honored with a military service. It was beautiful to hear the heartfelt dedication of those who loved him so much. A woman who attended the service approached me at Joseph's funeral and mentioned how much she appreciated a blog I had posted about Joseph about one month ago. She found the blog by searching Joseph's name in google looking for information concerning his funeral and my ActiveRain blog appeared. ActiveRain has enhanced my business and my personal life in so many ways and I am extremely grateful. The lessons Joseph gave me are invaluable and I promise to share all that I can of these lessons with others.

Later this same day, I was severely rear ended by a large vehicle. It happened in the evening hour on my way home from showing listings to clients. My vehicle is totaled, however, I am grateful for my life and I am grateful that no one else was injured.

So, it has been a whirlwilnd of a week but, life goes on and so will I. Thank you friends for all of your support and caring through this challenging time.

hoping next week is better for you...so sorry about your friend..

It is very hard to lose your mentor. I wish him peace and you peace.

Pat- Thank you for your kind note Pat. Sometimes things that happen in life make us stronger and wiser. My focus will be on learning from this experience. :-)

Leolinda- It is indeed. Thank you so much.

Very sorry for your loss. Godspeed. 97 is a ripe old age.

Seraina - Very nice tribute!

Sometimes we can gain strength from these challenges. We can channel our energy to be more productive, to live life to its fullest and to be inspired by those who have passed. Best wishes to you....

J. Philip- That is correct, Joe had a great run and a life full of adventure. Thank you.

Tom- What a kind note. Joseph gave me more inspiration than I know what to do with. As you mentioned, now I need to channel it! Thanks so much.

Seraina - I am so sorry you had such a horrible week, I liked your car too. Ok, except that annoying GPS thing on the dashboard. (It talked to much) If you need any help this week with clients because of your car being out of commission, don't hesitate to call, you know I will gladly do what I can for you.

Heck if you just need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here for that also.

Todd- Thank you darling. Yes, I loved that car too. You know what is really sad? I almost owned that car! Now I have to start from scratch. Aww well, it is just a piece of metal and easily replaced. You are not the only one to get annoyed by the talking screen. Thanks so much for your kindness and offer. I have a rental but I might take you up on the shoulder offer. Thanks for being such a great friend.

MAR

I meant every word of it! I'll see you next week and if you still need that shoulder, the offer still stands.
