Great life lesson
I was listening to the radio this morning, and the DJ’s were interviewing Lee Thomas. Lee is a TV journalist who is battling vitiligo, an odd disorder that is turning his black skin to white. Lee’s website, www.turningwhite.com, has far more information on the man and the disorder.
He said something in the interview that struck me. He said when you love your job, you really are loving the people who help you do your job. How true. I’ve said many times that I love being a Realtor, I love being a real estate agent in Gig Harbor, I love helping people move to Gig Harbor, I love writing this blog and helping people discover Gig Harbor. I love my job. I believe the reason why is that I love the people whom I’ve met through real estate and through blogging. My wife and I have made new friends, we’ve introduced people to our church, even our newborn daughter has met some potential future boyfriends all through real estate (Ben, Henry, the competition’s on!). I do enjoy taking pictures, I do enjoy writing, and I am fascinated by all the different homes I enter. None of these things provide the enjoyment that the people I meet provide.
How about you? Do you love your job? Has it opened up opportunities for you that you wouldn’t have had otherwise?

This is an awesome website. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me and my family. It will be great being in-laws in the future (HA HA). Great Job, keep up the good work.

Sorry, Troy (Henry’s Daddy), I’m sure Henry’s cute and charming, but I think that Benji and Reese made a ‘connection’ during their last visit. Benji slobbered all over her carseat and I think she smiled at him. Granted, she was sleeping and a little gassy, but I don’t think we should come between true love.
And yes, I love my job as a stay-at-home mom, but I sure wish I could get a vacation day now and then!
