Guardian Angels on the Prowl

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty 0575737

Guardian AngelI've always been one in life to completely miss the obvious of what others see. I call it having a reverse wired brain. However, I don't view this as bad. It is my gift. Because I miss the obvious, voilla, I see what many don't see. If everyone would be looking at the heads on a coin and commenting on how great a President that was, you'd find me closely examining the tails side and telling you how many columns there were on the Lincoln Memorial on a penny.

Case in point with Realtor blogging. Having written a handful or two myself I have noticed that you tend to attract first to your blog those that are inclined to hear your messages. Likewise as a reader you "connect" with other souls out in the universe who have to say something of meaning to you. You comment on their blog and if dialogue occurs over time you get to know that person better.

But then here's what I see, that maybe many miss. Review your blog comments over a week, several weeks or a month's time.

             You have Guardian Angels on the Prowl.

Some of these people "resonate" with you and want you to succeed. It is as much about them as it is you. They are watching over you and guess what?

                              THEY CARE.

To all the Guardian Angels I have found, thank you. Be on the lookout for YOUR guardian angels too. Do you know who they are??

Gary, in a savage financial environment, such as our nation is enshrouded, it's a welcome relief when those among our colleagues, co-workers and associates, who vigilantly stand by, hold out their hands and catch us when our wings are broken and prevent us from becoming fallen angels. Perhaps a guardian angel had to have been a fallen angel first.

In like fashion, a little fish can't swim without his tailfin. The food must come to him. The responsibility to enrich, comfort and care for the life our community is an awesome challenge and takes great courage in this new world. 

I hope you have a fine weekend.

Gary ~ I never thought of it like that, but I think you are right.  I do comment on a lot of newcomer's posts that are getting few, if any, comments.  And yes, there were members who did that for me too.  Some still do.  I like thinking of it that way - Guardian Angels.

You call them "guardian angels," and I call them, "new old friends." I find AR to be a very supportive environment.
