As we fully embrace the first quarter of 2010, I would like to share with everyone a few things that I know for sure. One, I know how grateful I am to be born in this amazing country. I know for sure I am grateful for the business relationships I have built up over the years. I have not only enjoyed the business aspect of real estate, but I have also enjoyed the friendships that have come with it. I have enjoyed helping my buyers and sellers with their real estate endeavors. Whether it was a challenging short sale or a relocation due to a job transfer, or maybe I helped you with your first home or it was time to enter a new chapter of life called retirement, I have enjoyed our journey together and look forward to working with you again.
I know for sure I have an incredible family and support system. I have two amazing daughters, Katie 19, Erin 15, and I know my life has been full of many things including side-splitting laughter and deep love because of what they bring to this world. I know for sure I was meant to be a mother.
I know for sure that I have the most incredible husband a girl could ever ask for. Ron and I have been married for 24 years. He has been along for this ride that we call life, through the ups and downs and there is no other "gentleman" (in every sense of the word) that I have enjoyed spending my life with and look forward to spending the next 50 years with. I know for sure he has been my source of strength, my rock, my cheerleader, my friend (and a few other things I can't mention), and I know for a fact he has taught me so much in life. I know I would not truly understand the power and meaning of kindness, sharing, bravery, strength, compassion, compromise, dignity, friendship, confidence, self worth, humor and of course love, had he not taught me. I know I am a lucky girl.
I know 2010 will continue to be a challenge for many, whether it's personally, professionally, health wise or maybe spiritually. I know I will smile when I see my dog optomistically wait at the pantry door for her cookies. I know I will continue to drive my family crazy, I will look forward to date night as well as a laugh or two at my girls night out. I will look forward to the sun coming up each morning, as well as look forward to being greeted at the office by my extended Coldwell Banker family.
Finally, I know for sure that I have no idea what the new day will bring, but I do know for sure, I will optomistically look forward to it!
Happy Valentine's Day to Everyone! Karen
