Celebrate the Day…March Fourth / Forth

 

While this isn’t an official holiday, the play on words encourages us to move forward with something we’ve been putting off.  Celebrate March Forth!

 

Baby steps count, too, as long as you're
moving forward.

Chris Gardner



It’s easy to come up with excuses for not writing our great American novel, calling a friend you’ve been meaning to call, or getting your Broker’s license. 

 

You have to come to your closed doors before you get to your open doors….
Joel Osteen

 

Really…who’s holding you accountable?  It would be easy to tell yourself that you’ll take the CRE course next year. Or start exercising again after you complete the CRE course. 

 

 

Let’s make the most of MARCH FORTH! Is there something you’ve been kicking down the road? 

 

STOP NOW AND MARCH FORTH!

In the words of Capt. Picard (Star Trek)...  Make it so!




If you can't fly, then run, if you can't run, then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
  Martin Luther King

Good morning, Kathy... I love that Joel Osteen quote. It's a new one for me. I need to march forth and clean off my desk. I keep getting interrupted with more important things to do and at the end of the day since I do know what's on it and where it is, I haven't totally incentivized myself as yet.

Nina Hollander, Broker I need to do the same with my closet!!! I know where everything is but it needs editing.

I fully intend to with a 9:15 tee time and hopefully get it done so that I can catch part of the Zoom call.

Good morning Kathy,

I love the Martin Luther King quote but the one by Joel Osteen I've never heard before and like a lot! I took another listing yesterday and have a lot to do with the humber i have coming on now!

Marching forth is the right thing to do since if we don't move forward, we are either staying put or moving backward, which will not get us anywhere in life, haha.

Brian England My old boss used to say.."you're either going forward or backwards...there's no staying in place."

Hello Kathy - "movement" is praised for many good reasons.  But moving often involves taking steps, sideways at times and even in reverse, as we proceed on life's journey.  Your message is not lost on me, I have "found" many such clues along the way as likely each of us has.

Mar 04, 2025 05:34 AM
Kathy Streib

Michael Jacobs the important thing is to keep moving...whether you're going this way or that.

Good morning, Kathy.
I am March Forth with the purpose of getting my car packed for the trek home next week. It's amazing how spread out I got in the last 3 months.

Carol Williams if you run out of room...ship it!!!  It seems like you just got there.

I have always been a person who takes action, not one to procrastinate or put things off, every day is an opportunity to p[ick yourself up if you fell, and start again. May the Forth be with you!

Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 that's a good trait!  I sometimes delay doing things I truly don't want to do.

Kathy when we come to a closed door we have to choices, we can open the door or not.  I find that opening it has far more benefits than not.

George Souto you never know what's behind a door but it's more exciting than doing nothing.

Well I am particularly happy today to "march' forward as I have an appointment with an ortho doc to figure out just what to do with what's been going on.  We know what it is now, and today is THE day to get marching with it all. YES!

Mar 04, 2025 10:12 AM
Kathy Streib

Yea Anna "Banana" Kruchten I think the hardest hurdle when you're ill or injured is finding out exactly what's wrong. From there you can usually formulate a game plan. 

Mar 04, 2025 06:07 PM
Anna "Banana" Kruchten

Well it was complicated news and now what we wanted to hear.  But some how we'll figure out the best way with the help of this doc!!
