I love getting up early on Saturdays

Being a Realtor® in Tacoma brings with it a certain schedule. One does not need to very often be working before 9am. The time before 9am can be useful to catch up on things certainly but it is not the time to be doing business.

For some reason I LOVE to get up early on Saturdays. The kids are asleep, the neighborhood is quiet, the sun is coming up etc. I find this time to be my time. No distractions. After a couple of cups of coffee (Today it's Peets French Roast) I usually handle some chores around the house and then begin one of my busiest real estate related work days. For example today I am going to the Proctor District Farmers Market. Great opportunity to get out see the neighborhood and say hello to people.

Do you you enjoy what you do? Since this is my life I want to make sure that I am spending my time capital wisely. I have no clue how many minutes I am being given here and unlike the self serve car wash there is no timer to tell me to put in quarters to keep going. I love my life and I am grateful for each day that I get to spend on this spinning blue marble. Getting up early on Saturdays is just my way to say thanks for the opportunity to be here.

Amid the false starts and missed deadlines I am starting again

For the few of you who currently read this blog....

You all know that I have been dealing with a lot of family issues over the past four months. Now that thinks seem to be calming down again I know it is time for me to find an outlet to express my concerns, frustrations, joys, sorrows, anger, and many other emotions that are too easily bottled up.

Selling real estate in Tacoma is truly a joy for me. I have been blessed to have a core support group around me during the past 2 years and today I am able to acknowledge that I would not be here if it was not for the hard work of others. Home sales in Tacoma are beginning to pick up and I have been lucky enough to sell enough homes to keep the home fires burning. The rest of 2010 is dedicated to not just surviving but thriving.

My goal is to return to this blog on a regular basis to just express my thoughts. By writing more often I know my writing will improve and that has been a goal of mine for a long, long time.

Until next time; Best Wishes,

Scott
