Saturday Smiles - Just Dreaming of What's Next

Journaling for November 1, 2025

 

I see retirement as just another of these

reinventions, another chance to do new things

and be a new version of myself ---Walt Mossberg

 

 

Nestled on a lush expanse of green grass, the cottage I dream of stands like a warm embrace. Its windows, tall and generous, welcome the golden-orange rays of the setting sun. Indoors, the light is casting a soft glow across the room. I am proud of how the light carefully curates my decor —family photographs, and scenic memories of places I've been. I am living in harmony to remind me that I value rustic charm and refined elegance. If you dream it, it can come true.

 

 

 

I recall all the dreams I made come true for buyers and sellers in the real estate industry. Now, it's my turn. I continue to stay educated, active, and enjoy life. Beneath my feet light dances on polished wood floors, illuminating nooks and shelves filled with good books. My glass blown art, the books, and photographs seem to remind me of fond stories of my life. 

 

Outside, a classic rail fence frames the property, its weathered wood adding character to the scene. There is a path of Autumn Chrysanthemums lining the path. Beyond it, autumn performs its grand finale — trees ablaze in crimson, amber, and gold, each leaf a brushstroke of nature’s masterpiece. The attention to detail is everywhere: from the hilly slope of the land to the way the breeze carries the scent of fallen leaves and distant firewood. It’s not just a home. It’s a sanctuary. A place where every sunset feels like a gift.

We have a lot of older houses in my area starting from 30th. Many of them have stories we'll never hear:)

Inna Ivchenko - Behind every door there are stories. Some are happy, others not so much. Many happenings were unbelievable; others you learned that seeing is believing. Older/preexisting home - new construction there are stories that remain mysteriously silent.

Lew Corcoran - Heading toward the next level of adventure, whether young or old, it is okay to dream, plan, and accept the things you cannot change, and to change the things you can. Putting words into ideas is the easy part. Following through makes you memorable to others - being proud of yourself.

Michael Jacobs - Like trees, people change too. We take root. Need water. Must have fresh air and light to see and good food for thought to create a vision. Like trees, there are seasonal changes, including growth and opportunities. Observing nature and giving gratitude guides us to achieve.

Kat Palmiotti - You are a dream maker. That's why I trust what you share. Creating a vision that is uniquely you is the only way I know how to live fully. Life is like hiking, climbing, getting your feet wet, and making sure you stay clean no matter how bad the mud gets - you keep going.
