Thanksgiving---What This Realtor Is Thankful For

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. Traditionally a holiday we spend with our families. For most people it signifies the start of the "Holiday Season". For others it marks traditions with families that they look forward to each and every year. For others it is a time to reflect back and be grateful for what the year has brought...... This year, Thanksgiving has brought many emotions and meanings to me. Some I never gave much thought to in the past. Others that is new for the year. For me it has always been about being thankful for what I have. Growing up; I was always taught to be thankful for what you have because it was more than someone else had and wished they had. We also had the family traditions of getting together and celebrating the day as a family. As i grew older I started to create my own traditions with my family. One thing i did was remember to be thankful for what i had and to teach my children the same; we would volunteer at the local soup kitchen and help with Thanksgiving dinner for those who did not have a family to go home to. Spreading a little love and smile into someone else life gives you a better appreciation of the one you have. As a Realtor I have many things every year i am thankful for. I love my job and it shows. I enjoy meeting new people every year and making friendships that last a lifetime. I enjoy seeing the smile on someone’s face when at the closing table they have signed the last piece of paper and realize that they now own their first home ,their dream home or retirement home. The joy of helping soemone sell their home and relocate or just beign a friend to a past or present client....The list is endless and the friendships I have made the same. Take some time out of your busy day today and call or thank your family for being there with you...You do not know how long you have with them and cherish each and every moment together as a family...My dad passed away a year ago in August and I know a great many friends who have lost loved ones this year. Be thankful for the memories you have wiht your loved ones and cheerish the moments you have wth family now. Contineu traditions or start new ones.. I used to say holidays, funerals and weddings were the only time our family all got together. Now this past two years have showed me that it is more important than ever to do it more often than that. And we make efforts to try and get together more often. This Thanksgiving I look back and am thankful for my family and my health and my ability to work and all the joy my friends and family bring into my life...So,from this Charlotte NC Realtor to you HAPPY THANKSGIVING.......
