All Work & No Play Makes Leander A Dull Boy. Fishing Anyone?
I love real estate!
I love making music.
I spend many hours every day working on my craft anad learning to become a better Realtor & Real Estate Consultant. I spend many hours in my home studio studying recording engineering creating music. Even though this is fun for me…..It is still work.
So last week, I took a few days off and went fishing. Myself and six other guys loaded up a 16 passenger van with coolers, fishing rods, tackle boxes, snacks and oh yeah…..and overnight bags. We left Philadelphia around 7:30 pm heading to Hyannis, MA. After several stops for gas and 
bathroom breaks, we made it to the dock around 3:30am. And you would think that we would be the first people there (considering that the boat would not leave until 6:30am)
…….and you would be WRONG!
Two car loads of fisherman were there before us (Diehards!! :). We were going to be fishing on the Helen H a 100’ Supercruiser.
When we left the dock at 6:30am, it was raining, windy and cold. The water was rough and we spent 5+ hours with the boat pitching & rolling as we tried to fish. The fishing was good, however….I wasn’t. Being a former Navy man, I pride myself on not getting seasick, but I was feeling a little queasy. I fished for a few hours and called it quits.
After a hot shower and a good meal and a good night’s sleep, I was ready to try it again the next day. If there ever was a perfect day of fishing, day #2 was it. The weather was warm, the water was calm, and the fish were 
biting like crazy….what more could I ask for? After two days of fishing, we loaded our coolers full of fish into the van and headed back to Philadelphia.
For several days, I was relaxing, unwinding and not working. Did my business fall apart while I was gone? Absolutely not. I received several offers and a couple of new listings and a new buyer client.
The point of this story is;
Take time out to have fun.
Life is short. Before you know it, it will be over.
So slow down, take some time off and relax. Forget about work for a few days. It will be there when you get back.
