Why do you get up each day and do what you do?
Is is money? Is it time? Is is family? Is it fame?
My very good friend and Active Rain member Steve Homer asked me this question for the first time when we really started to become good friends.
What a great question and it caught me off guard!
My answer is all four and several others, but mostly to spend more time with the 2 wonderful people in the picture attached to this blog. 
It is amazing how you can have the worst day ever at your office or in the field and when you get to your home base and get a kiss from your husband/wife or that smile from your son/daughter it all seems to melt away.
For example, I watered my yard with my 15 month old "big helper" son today when I got home and completely forgot about the little things that upset me today and affected how the rest of my day played out.
I have to remind myself often to not sweat the small stuff!
I wrote this tonight because I was thinking about what is really important to me and to remind all of us as professionals that in our endless pursuit of happiness--Take a Friday off to take your kids somewhere without them knowing, Get out in the country and see how bright the stars are at night, Tell someone that you love them, Tell someone how much you appreciate them, and remember to smell the flowers!!!
Make sure your are leaving deposits to not only make your business better each day but to all the people that are around you. We all need good news in a time when it seems that our TVs and radios have a weird way of airing everything that is wrong. SMILE AND LAUGH TOMORROW MORE THAN NORMAL AND SEE HOW MUCH BETTER YOUR DAY WILL BE!
