Today isn't Thanksgiving, but here is what I am thankful for...

Real Estate Broker/Owner with Christiansen Group Realty (260)704-0843

Last week was a bad week.  We had a huge deal falll through that we were really counting on...  So here is what I did first:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I did this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once I got the emotions out I decided to regroup and focus on what I have instead of what I don't have, and what I am thankful for.  Here are a few things that I came up with:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My son Mike and my wife Amanda.  My two favorite people in the world!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My partner in life and business.  Yes, it's my wife Amanda again.  She is also a Realtor with RE/Max Home Connection and the best thing that has ever happened to me.  

I am thankful for the company I work for, RE/Max Home Connection, and my awesome Broker Mary Sherer.  She is first class all the way!!!

I am also thankful for the place that I live, Fort Wayne, IN

Then there are the friends I have met I am thankful for, like Brian, who I went through the salesperson's class with last year and is going to be a GREAT Realtor!

Anyway, I can ramble on forever but I just wanted to say that even though things can get rough sometimes, we need to focus on what we have, remember why we are doing it, and be thankful, even though it isn't Thanksgiving. Man, I am craving some turkey and a Dallas Cowboys Football game...

Jared... One NEVER has to only be Thankful at Thanksgiving.  I think it means more when you remember and appreciate all you have when the holiday is not here.

BTW.. Very nice looking family.

It is great to be thankful.  It does seem like business gets better when you are thankful.  You have so much to be thankful for!  We all lose deals, and if you haven't, you aren't asking for the sale enough!

Jared - I think we can all relate to what you experienced.  Hat's off to your perspective.  It sounds like you're a really blessed guy.  Another deal will come along to take that one's place.  Best of luck!
