It looks like Philemon wants to stay awake but once he dozes off and awoken by a lightening bolt he is not so happy to have been awoken.This is going to be hard to relate to Real Estate except maybe the to the home Seller who is thinking I must Sell and when interest in the property they doze off into the contentment of staying. Then Ka-Boom an offer comes in and they don't know what to do.I experienced this about 30 years ago when I moved to a small town that went through a boom and bust cycle. Nearly every home had a For Sale sign in the window but when I went to the door they were surprised that sign was still there and they were no longer selling their home. It could have been frustrating but I actually found it funny.

Wednesday's Wisdom: from non-other than Coach Wooden...I always enjoy just opening his book: A lifetime of observations and reflections on and off the court!Never gets old so with that said, let me share this message:Winners Make the Most MistakesMy coach at Purdue, Piggy Lambert, constantly reminded us "The team that makes the most mistakes will probably win".That may sound a bit odd, but there is a great deal of truth in it. The doer makes mistakes. Coach Lambert taught me that mistakes come from doing, but so does success.The individual who is mistake-free is also probably sitting around doing nothing. And that's a very big mistake.I can so relate with this message how about you??Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments. If you are looking for a knowled...

Each spring, I eagerly await the sight of dogwood trees in bloom, it’s such a beautiful scene. Recently, I came across a post by Nina Hollander about October, which reminded me that I get a second chance to enjoy these trees. In the fall, their leaves change to stunning multi-colors, and the sight is breathtaking, especially when sunlight filters through. It’s also a gentle reminder that dogwoods are among the first trees to shed their leaves, signaling the start of fall cleanup season..  I am not so excited up that.
