Good Luck Year Round not just on St. Patrick’s Day (2012)

 stpattysdayhat Top o’ the mornin’.  And the rest of the day to you.   And so goes the ole Irish greeting and response;at least that’s what an Irish fella I met told me one day.

No Irish history lesson here, just a bit of gold that might help you Year Round.

“May the luck of the Irish possess you.  May the devil fly off with your worries.  May God Bless you forever and ever.”  –Unknown Source

“I believe in luck.  The harder I work the luckier I get.”  –Sam Shoen

I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.”  –Thomas Jefferson

Luck is being ready for the chance.”  –J. Frank Dable

So make your own luck; work hard, be thankful for what you have and if you want for more……work harder, and give what it takes. 

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Be mine today and EVERYDAY (VALENTINES 2012)

pink roses with inscription I read a lot and with that you get some good, bad and ugly.  Valentines may have been elevated to commercial status, but the last time I checked the POST OFFICE and all the banks are still open.  So Valentines haters step aside or just go away.    You don’t have to buy a rose or even a card.  It’s time for you to FIND a way to show you love them today and EVERYDAY.  Take a page from my playbook.  Check out what my daughter got for breakfast this morning.  I’ll clue you in…….It’s the same thing she gets most mornings…..Eggos(with chocolate chips), banana slices a slice of bacon, small cup of apple juice and a large milkshake glass of carnation breakfast.  Made every day with love….but today this is how the Eggos and the bananas looked……………

I cut her bacon into what was suppose to look like a rose.  You wouldn’t know it if you looked at it, but my little girl knew right away that dad was giving her a bacon rose and that sounds like something straight from Last Man Standing.

HAPPY VALENTINES TO YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES!!!!!!!

Embrace the moment, don’t get caught up in the hustle and bustle, if you blink the moment will be over….but not for you because your goal is like mine…your goal is to……………………….

This REALTORS Perspective:

Stress, stress, stress, we don’t always have to put ourselves in these situations.  Living to work is not living.  Working to live is a much better approach.  We all want to feel secure in our work so we can continue to get a check and raises and promotions, but at what cost?  Slow down your approach to work and take the stress out where you can.  Now the pitfall is that you take stress away only to add a different “new” stress.  Take the time to look at the stars at night.  “the stars at night are bight and bright……”   If you have ever lived near, notice I said near, a major city, the stars are drowned out by city lights.  That’s why you don’t see any drive in theaters near the big city any more.  The night lights and street noise where killing the movie experience.  Netflix and HBO had something to do with it, but when the big scene was about to happen…the suspense was mounting an ambulance, fire truck and police car all go by, it kinda ruins the mood of a romantic western.  Stress, rush, rush, rush, what’s the hurry.  Slow down, enjoy your family, enjoy your friends, and make some new friends, have a picnic, go fishing, read that book you’ve been putting off.  Take a visit to the country it will help you to……

LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST,
